New Socialist Bloc is a medium-sized region, with a thriving community of 30 nations and only 12 World Assembly Members.
Throughout New Socialist Bloc, traditions are kept strictly throughout the region, punishing upstarts and rabble-rousers harshly. Political freedoms are extended only to close friends and relatives of the leaders of the region's governments. Underwater basket weaving is a popular tradition amongst the denizens of the region, as well as its primary economic export. Denizens tend to pay their taxes quickly and quietly, with a median tax rate of 19%. The economies of nations in the region tend to be heavily weighted towards the private sector, with on average 20% of the economy comprising the public sector. Commerce within the region is an irrelevant annoyance to governments.
Denizens of the New Socialist Bloc are poorly educated, with rampant illiteracy. Criminality is rife within the region, with law enforcement struggling to cope. Governments allocate a meagre -1%, on average, of their budgets to law and order. Denizens have small defense forces. Public transport is an afterthought, with only -1% of total government budgets in the region being devoted to it.
Governments in New Socialist Bloc find themselves in a constant state of disarray, with very little co-ordination, only -1% on average of government budgets being devoted to Administration. Hospital patients are given credit checks upon passing through emergency rooms, as no government provision is made for healthcare in the region. Welfare in the region is minimal, with only a small amount of expenditure being devoted to spending on social security. Spirituality is a moderate priority of governments within the region, with-1% of government budgets being devoted to Spirituality.
Social inequality is a major problem within New Socialist Bloc, although some effort has been made to correct the problem. The environments of the nations in the region are almost universally appalling.
