The Armed Republic of Jealhaffen is a small, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 9 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, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 63%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.
Meat-eating is frowned upon, the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, the fluskot is a protected species, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Jealhaffen's national animal is the fluskot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the telli.
Jealhaffen is ranked 1st in the region and 35,573rd in the world for Most Beautiful Environments.
