Neo-Macedonia

The Matriarchal Catholic Kingdom of Neo-Macedonia is a massive, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate population of 1.416 billion 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 Commerce. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

Expensive lawyers are hired to defend citizens in court for public urination charges against their pets, only a minority of the population can actually vote at elections, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and lions with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo-Macedonia's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
