The Holy Capitalist Paradise of The United Regions

The Holy Capitalist Paradise of The United Regions is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister David Bell with an even hand, and notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.007 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Social Welfare and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drasona. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Tourism.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, Puma is one of the most popular forenames in The United Regions, healthcare funding has been cut, and The United Regions's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime is crippling. The United Regions's national animal is the Puma, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the grobigs.
