We welcome The Kingdom of Area SBC



We welcome The Kingdom of Area SBC (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=Area+SBC), a United Nations member, as our 53rd member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Kingdom of Area SBC is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 18 million are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Social Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 55%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture.
Voting is voluntary, sloths are considered a delicacy, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and Harry Potter books are banned. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Area SBC's national animal is the sloth, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the dollar.
