My imaginary country is a liberal socialist democracy.
I now have a country called SpentAllTheMoney. It has a weak economy!
QUOTE
The Free Land of SpentAllTheMoney is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 29%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Information Technology.
Crime is relatively low. SpentAllTheMoney's national animal is the penguin and its currency is the banana leaf.
Fun new toy, Boot.
