The Republic of Gerontas is a large, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning wolf population. Its compassionate population of 26 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Commerce and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 42%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.
Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is well under control. Gerontas's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the drachma.
The Republic of Gerontas is the founder of the Region of Urania.
