The New Meritocracy is a medium region, with a thriving community with 21 nations and only 2 World Assembly Members.
In The New Meritocracy, denizens enjoy their civil rights, although not too much, or too freely. Nations in the region are considered developing democracies, with some political freedoms afforded to denizens. Families in the region are so obsessed with the economy that the discussion of laffer curves and supply-side reforms over supper is a regular occurrence in member nations. Denizens tend to pay their taxes quickly and quietly, with a median tax rate of 22%. The economies of nations in the region tends to be heavily weighted towards the private sector, with on average only 10% of the economy comprising the public sector. Commerce is a priority for governments, accounting for an average of 6% of public expenditure.
The New Meritocracy does not prioritize education in any meaningful way. Crime is low: the region enjoys well-equipped and well-funded police forces, coupled with efficient but fair judicial systems. Defense is a major priority for governments within the region, with a large chunk of government budgets being devoted to it. Public transport is considered dirty and trampish in the region. You would be mad to use it.
Nobody really knows about the state of administration in The New Meritocracy. Observers asked for information, but found nobody was available to take calls. Hospital patients are given credit checks upon passing through emergency rooms, as no government provision is made for healthcare in the region. No welfare is provided in the region. Those unlucky enough to fall into unemployment are forgotten and abandoned. Governments in the region are avowedly atheist - no public funds are allocated to spirituality.
In The New Meritocracy, Social inequality is total, with wealth being held by a tiny fraction of the region's populace. The landscapes of the region are no longer recognizable as such, the atmosphere being unbreathable and the only jungles being made of concrete.
