The Nation
The United States of Schnabo (Schnan: Efôertéb Estéb'têrb'n Escá'aníàn) is a huge, devout nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 310 million 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, Education, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 83%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.
Military spending is on the increase, skateparks can be found in every city, private business has started paving paradises and putting up parking lots, and sex offenders find themselves 'cut off' from any ability to repeat their crimes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Schnabo's national animal is the Schnaboon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Schnab.
The main languages in Schnabo is Schnan, a language spoken by approx 97% of the people, and English, which is spoken by the whole population exept some areas in the east. Schnan is also more common in the east than in the west. The most common religions is Christianity (Catholism) and Schnaboism.
New Schnabo has their own government, but they obey under Schnaboian Law since New Schnabo is in the Schnaboian Union
The national day is Nov 22, the day of the nations founding
Upcoming Events in Schnabo
- Election
It is soon time for the Schnaboian election. The challenger to Schnabs this time is Jonathan Willington. Algott Schnabs is the leader of the Schnaboian Social Democratic Party (Esocìlbìĸwokerabtérúb), who fights to keep the public healthcare and to lower the unemployment rate by creating many jobs in the public sector.
The Conservatists (Woĸêrbtérúb), the party Willington is leader for, wants the opposite of the SSDP, they want to make the healthcare private by selling the hospitals to private company. They also want to lower the taxes, since they belive that their Conservatist Economical Plan (CEP, With low taxes more starts to pay them, which equals in more money for the government) work.
There is also the Environmental Party (Qe lerôab), also called "Envi" or "The green", which is in the middle on the political scale. The are a bit special, since they dont have a presidential candidate, they only run for The scherelek. They are a cross between SDP and the Conservatists, since they want public healthcare and a tax lowering, but they prioritate the environment. They are often in different alliances with the other parties, which means that they have sometimes been the one with the decisive votes.
