UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy

Civil Rights: Some Economy: Good Political Freedoms: Very Good

Location: Codaya

Regional Influence: Hermit

The Republic of Kukay is a tiny, pleasant nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, intelligent 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 devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 27%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail industries.

Voting is voluntary. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Kukay's national animal is the monkey and its currency is the Dollar.

Kukay is ranked 1st in the region and 59,301st in the world for Largest Welfare Programs (per capita).
