Overview
The Green Republic of Storalia is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its national health service. The compassionate, intelligent population of 89.614 million Storalians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Storalisburg. The average income tax rate is 75%, and even higher for the wealthy. An almost nonexistent private sector is almost fully dominated by the Tourism industry and Book Publishing industry.
Storalia's national animal is the Dragon, despite being a mythological being, and its currency is the Stora Pound.
Regional Politics
Storalia is widely regarded as the pushover of the ISSU, as it is one of the weakest nations in the region, with little to no powerful allies. It also has the misfortune to be surrounded by four much stronger nations, two of which have shown interest in Storalian lands. The Storalian Government has, however, began to work on a plan to strengthen the Storalian military and improve relations with neighboring nations, especially the Grand Russian Federation. So far, Storalia has narrowly been able to keep itself neutral when it comes to regional wars.
The Storalian Parliament has also expressed intention to run for the position of Foreign Affairs and Immigration in the next election, which occurs in roughly three months. However, most of the other nations in the region believe that the ideology of the Storalian Government is not aggressive enough to run for a regional position. It is unlikely that the Storalian Government will win the election.
History
Storalia started out as group of Barbarian tribes in what is now Danzig after gaining independence from Pomerania. (WIP)
