We welcome the Republic of Carakus !!!


Another esteemed nation, The Republic of Carakus (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=caracus ), has joined today our Region as the 26th member nation.

The Republic of Carakus is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 199 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 29%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports industries.
Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, and government-run brothels can be found on every street corner. Crime is totally unknown. Carakus's national animal is the orangutan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the karacent.
