The People's Republic of Moskidia

"Right wing commies!"

UN Category: Psychotic Dictatorship
Civil Rights: Few	Economy: Good	Political Freedoms: Few

Location: Apolyton

The People's Republic of Moskidia is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 29%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Trout Farming.

Military spending is on the increase. Crime is moderate. Moskidia's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.

The Kingdom of Eternal Cold is a very large, pleasant nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 62 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

Marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, military spending is on the increase, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime is moderate. Eternal Cold's national animal is the polar bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the goldpiece.

The Sultanate of Townsville

"I rock! I rock so hard."

UN Category: Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights: Excellent	Economy: Thriving	Political Freedoms: Excellent

Location: Apolyton

The Sultanate of Townsville is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 7 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute government, or what there is of one, concentrates mainly on Commerce, although Law & Order and Social Equality are secondary priorities. Income tax is unheard of. A robust private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Soda Sales.

Military funding has been stripped back, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and the right to free speech is being drastically curtailed. Crime is a major problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Townsville's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the puff.

The average income tax rate is 91%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Vegetarianism is compulsory, voting is voluntary, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate. Crime is totally unknown. The Mad Capitan's national animal is the urchin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the waffle.
