"The Republic of Provincia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President George Roberts with a fair hand, and renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.607 billion Provincians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion." --NS Overview from the 14th of October, 2014
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal individuals concentrates mainly on Religion & Spirituality, although Law & Order and Social Equality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port-of-Spain. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, followed by Information Technology and Beef-Based Agriculture.
Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem. Providence and Port Hope's national animal is the Dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Caribbean Dollar.
