What the UN says about us

The Confederacy of Latao is a huge, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 589 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Law & Order, and Education. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales industries.

The military frequently holds bake sales to raise funds, citizens are frequently held up at gunpoint by their local pizza delivery boys, children deemed 'disorderly' or otherwise unfit for public schools are shipped off to military academies, and the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem. Latao's national animal is the scooby-doo and its currency is the latinum.
