Welcome Hekatonkheires



We welcome The Federation of Hekatonkheires (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=Hekatonkheires), as the 77th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Federation of Hekatonkheires is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.082 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Commerce and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
The government seizes all major gold finds, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, and televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hekatonkheires's national animal is the heka gigante, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the grey flint blade.
