Welcome Leo III the Isaurian



We welcome The Empire of Leo III the Isaurian (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=Leo+III+the+Isaurian), as the 201st member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Empire of Leo III the Isaurian is a tiny, economically powerful nation, remarkable 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 powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing industries.
Crime is a serious problem. Leo III the Isaurian's national animal is the equus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the solidus.
