Welcome TurdHeads



We welcome The Rogue Nation of TurdHeads (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=TurdHeads), as the 219th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Rogue Nation of TurdHeads is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 40%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Automobile Manufacturing.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. TurdHeads's national animal is the big poop, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the turd.

Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Gambling.
TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Land of cats's national animal is the maine coon cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar bill.

Welcome Reanault



We welcome The Empire of Reanault (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=Reanault), a United Nations member, as the 231st member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Empire of Reanault is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, cynical population of 12 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 31%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales industries.
Bicyclists are banned from major roads, punitive tariffs protect local industry, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reanault's national animal is the tiger and its currency is the solidus.

Welcome Streets of Fire



We welcome The Armed Republic of Streets of Fire (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=Streets+of+Fire), as the 230th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Armed Republic of Streets of Fire is a huge, safe nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed population of 883 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 20%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Basket Weaving and Book Publishing.
Referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, child adoption by homosexual couples has been outlawed, and the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Streets of Fire's national animal is the dead man, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the bullet.

Welcome Andrew Lawrence



We welcome The Grand Duchy of Andrew Lawrence (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=Andrew+Lawrence), as the 230th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Grand Duchy of Andrew Lawrence is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 38%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Trout Farming.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Andrew Lawrence's national animal is the Two head eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Lawrencian.
