The United States of Prostranstvo is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 616 million Astronavties 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.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zemlya. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.2%.
The all-consuming Prostranstvoan economy, worth 71.6 trillion Kredities a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 116,214 Kredities, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.
Breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need, private law firms are unheard of, citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios, and agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prostranstvo's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
