We welcome The Free Land of Savlbard (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=Savlbard) as the 47th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.
The Free Land of Savlbard is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 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.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass -- is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 39%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Retail industry, followed by Book Publishing and Gambling.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Savlbard's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the firearm.
