chikapoo

The Queendom of Chikapoo is a fledgling, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 6 million Chikapooans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt. The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 37.9%, but much higher for the wealthy. The Chikapooan economy, worth 231 billion Falcoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,618 Falcoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest. Schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, Chikapoo City spends billions upgrading public transport, shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, and all footpaths have tollbooths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chikapoo's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies. (in short, its a nation on NationStates.net)
