User:Antarcteca

The Republic of Antarcteca is a very large, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working population of millions of Antarctecans 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 53%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Gambling industries.

Sex changes are routinely performed at Antarcteca's hospitals, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, and small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antarcteca's national animal is the Snow Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its currency is the Note.
