Free Democratic Republic of Hogsweat

Nation Page: Updating Constantly

The Free Democratic Republic of Hogsweat is a massive, devout, economically powerful, safe, nation, renowned for it's compulsory military service and lack of prisons and remarkable for its devotion to social welfarel. It's hard-nosed population of 4.073 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 Defence, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 100%. There is no private sector, due to high sector taxes, but it is building steadily and stubbornly.

Sea Lions are becoming popular in pet stores nationwide, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, organ donation is compulsory, and Hogsweat's army is full of 2 metre tall super-soldiers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hogsweat's national animal is the Sea Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Pound, with a conversion rate of FHP1 to USD1.7268
