Looks like fun. I\'ll try it.
The Republic of Zerkath
\"Slay one? Why not slay them all!\"
UN Category: Liberal Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Good Economy: Fair Political Freedoms: Superb
Location: The East Pacific
The Republic of Zerkath is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous government is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Healthcare and Education are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 36%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Book Publishing.
Crime is moderate. Zerkath\'s national animal is the cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation\'s many lush forests, and its currency is the zerkonian.
