The Rogue Nation of Io-Rach
\"Live and let die\"
UN Category: Corporate Police State
Civil Rights: Rare
Economy: Thriving
Political Freedoms: Outlawed
Location: Yliakum
The Rogue Nation of Io-Rach is a tiny, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn\'t on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
There is no government in the normal sense the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, moralistic individuals devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A robust private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales industries.
Crime is a problem. Io-Rach\'s national animal is the Devourer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Bile.

The Empire of The Aurean Order is a tiny, devout nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard- working, cynical population of 5 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.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 16%. A healthy private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.
Crime is moderate. The Aurean Order\'s national animal is the Griffin and its currency is the Coron.
