The Kingdom of Emerald Cove is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed population of 7 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Public Transport, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 37%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Information Technology industries.
Voting is compulsory, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, surveillance cameras are banned, and cars are banned. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Emerald Cove's national animal is the rock wallaby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the rock.
Emerald Cove is ranked 62nd in the region and 66,031st in the world for Largest Welfare Programs (per capita).
