Welcome Zdi



We welcome The Republic of Zdi (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=Zdi), as the 118th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Republic of Zdi is a large, devout nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 20 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, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 58%, 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 Uranium Mining.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Zdi's national animal is the kan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the monay.
