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 133rd member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Armed Republic of Streets of Fire is a tiny, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. 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.
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, 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 robust private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Basket Weaving and Pizza Delivery.
Crime is a major problem. 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.
