We welcome The Republic of Atakna

We welcome The Republic of Atakna (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=atakna) in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region, as our 42nd member nation state.
The Republic of Atakna is a tiny, environmentally stunning 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 large, corrupt government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 28%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Furniture Restoration.
Crime is moderate. Atakna's national animal is the swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the sword.
