The Country
The Most Serene Republic of Western Afghanistan is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, cynical population of 197 million 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.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Defence and Public Transport receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 55%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal.
Western Afghanistan is broken up into three provinces, Herat, Badghis, and Faryab, running from southwest to norteast. The Herat Province, which contains the capital city of Herat, is considerably more populous than the other two provinces, and where urbanization has not spread outward from the capital, the province contains pleasant, sunny hills and valleys. Badghis and Faryab, which are generally made up of steep rural hillside (Badghis and southern Faryab) and rocky desert (northern Faryab) are generally less habitable, but contain various moderately sized cities like Andkhoy or Dawlatabad.
The country is made up of seven electoral districts, as is discussed below. Here they are: Badghis District Central Herat City District East Herat City District Faryab District Greater Herat District North Herat City District West Herat City District As is apparent, the population balloons vastly in the capital, which over the years has gone from a tiny Persian outpost to a sprawling modern metropolis, whith possesses vast depths of not only West Afghan but global culture.
Western Afghanistan prides itself on the implementation of a 20th century socialist philosophy called anarcho-syndicalism. Similar to socialism, the goal of anarcho-syndicalism is ultimately to obliterate the government in favour of a self-sustained, self operating anarchy where any given citizen has equal opportunity and equal rights.
