Overview

The Democratic Republic of Citrus_x is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 115 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 53%, and even higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, the people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime is relatively low. Citrus_x's national animal is the wild bovine, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the sand dollar.
