Eastern Roman Empire Alliance: Welcome VVoody VVoodpecker

Welcome VVoody VVoodpecker

We welcome The Community of VVoody VVoodpecker (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=VVoody+VVoodpecker), as the 136th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Community of VVoody VVoodpecker is a tiny, devout nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass -- devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Defence and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 38%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.
Crime is relatively low. VVoody VVoodpecker's national animal is the woodpecker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the wood.
