Kratostan

The Armed Republic of Kratostan

"Chicken tastes good."

The Armed Republic of Kratostan is a tiny, devout nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 6 million 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.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Religion & Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 24%. A large private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, followed by Retail and Furniture Restoration.

Voting is compulsory. Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Kratostan's national animal is the rabid eagle and its currency is the krat.

History

The Armed Republic of Kratostan (ARK) was established on 14 June 2005 in the region of the North Pacific. The people of Kratostan originally come from the territory of New Kratos, a NationState funded years ago under the leadership of Chrono Guru. After unknown circumstances, most of the population of New Kratos abandoned the country and where not seen again. The remaining citizens would then ramble through different worlds and dimensions until finally returning guided by Quirozom. After claming some land, a fellow nation by the name of MUNterrey recommended ARK to join the region of Q102. A quick concensus was followed and ARK became the newest member.
