The Kingdom of Flowering City of Trees
Check Nationstates. Nuff' Said.
The Kingdom of Flowering City of Trees is a huge, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 246 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Healthcare, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 69%. A healthy private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Book Publishing and Furniture Restoration.
Commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme, the booming slave trade is now government-funded, and there have been reports of people marrying housepets. Crime is moderate. Flowering City of Trees's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Galleona.
