I just got bored with it - I'm so shallow!

The Community of Ashley Giles is going great guns with a population of nearly 400 million at the moment...however income tax is currently 89%

It's become a little ritual of mine of a morning to check in with my nation.....

my country so far:

The Kingdom of Goldfire is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 352 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Soda Sales and Beef-Based Agriculture.

The government is attempting to impose a new national language on the public, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Bat, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, and the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goldfire's national animal is the Bat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Ball.

we are also an economic powerhouse.
