Wait you made the Zuguthian Empire without me? Oh well I don't have time for it anyway.
You could lower the tax a bit though. Lil bit.

But a 45% tax rate guarantees money will be used for important things, like welfare and guns and hookers.
Whereas the uneducated citizens will spend it on benign things like food.

Players have no *direct* control over their nation, so I can't.

The Commonwealth of The New Terra Cluster is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Markus Korriman with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles. The compassionate population of 1.996 billion New Terrans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novus. The average income tax rate is 97%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Extreme political groups are outlawed, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, and crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The New Terra Cluster's national animal is the Sparrowhawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Commonwealth Bill.

Does Hexalan into nationstates? And also, I think I'm doing preddy gud.

Holy income tax man
You better be giving everyone free everything with tax like that.

Healthcare, welfare, power, foods, police, emergency services, hell, even environmental protection and a goddamn space program. Oh, and top 5% of the world for most technologically advanced.

Yup.

[Archduke Daynel, PhD]

But do they get free internet? And houses? And games and computers and smutty magazines?
Do they, Error?

[Error]

Internet, yes.
Houses, almost totally covered.
Smutty mags, no.
Games and computers, at a government-enforced reduced price.

Also SPACE

At 97% you might as well go starttrek federation and abolish money.

[Error]

Hmmm....

[Shadowcatbot]

Hmmm....

The irony of Startrek being a veiled anti-racism show but yet the Federation is basically a massive quasi-communistic socialist country is pretty funny.

[Error]

You say socialist like it's a bad thing.

17 hours ago: Following new legislation in Jaderius, political activists are routinely executed.

The Rogue Nation of Jaderius is a tiny, genial nation, notable for its strong anti-business policies. The compassionate, cynical population of 7 million Jaderiusians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Defence and Education are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 41%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Gambling.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the right to free speech is being drastically curtailed, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and political activists are routinely executed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. Jaderius's national animal is the space bacteria, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the cubic meter.
