Welcome Basil II Bulgar-slayer



We welcome The Empire of Basil II Bulgar-slayer (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=Basil+II+Bulgar-slayer), as the 193rd member nation station in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Empire of Basil II Bulgar-slayer is a tiny, economically powerful nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business individuals devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A healthy private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Basket Weaving and Woodchip Exports.
Crime is a serious problem. Basil II Bulgar-slayer's national animal is the double headed eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the solidus.
