Welcome 1821



We welcome The Free Land of 1821 (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=1821), as the 200th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Free Land of 1821 is a tiny, economically powerful nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The medium-sized, pro-business government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8%. A robust private sector is led by the Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology industries.
Crime is a major problem. 1821's national animal is the phoenix and its currency is the drachma.
