The Protectorate of The Holy Cooliness



We welcome The Protectorate of The Holy Cooliness (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=The+Holy+Cooliness) in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Protectorate of The Holy Cooliness is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 96 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 86%, 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.
Every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, the government pours millions of haks into rehabilitation programs annually, all writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, and the nation's gigantic air force is both respected and feared. Crime is totally unknown. The Holy Cooliness's national animal is the hesiy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the hak.
