Nation/The Liberated Proletarians

The Rogue Nation of The Liberated Proletarians is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 6 million Liberated Proletarians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 57.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Liberated economy, worth 83.7 billion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 13,951 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and all recreational drugs are legal. Crime is totally unknown. The Liberated Proletarians's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Liberated Proletarians is ranked 28,120th in the world and 4th in The Extremists for Nudest, with 195.75 Cheeks Per Square Mile.
