Current Info

The Kingdom of Golden sails is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed population of 372 million 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 concentrates mainly on the Environment, although Public Transport and Social Welfare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 51%, and even higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Euthanasia is illegal, cars are banned, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and the government is avowedly atheist. Crime is relatively low. Golden sails's national animal is the dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the crown.
