Welcome Leo VI the Wise



We welcome The Empire of Leo VI the Wise (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=Leo+VI+the+Wise), as the 191st member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Empire of Leo VI the Wise is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. 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 small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Defence, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming industries.
Crime is a major problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Leo VI the Wise's national animal is the double headed eagle and its currency is the solidus.
