The Allied States of Meteorola is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 651 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.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Law & Order and Defence are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 73%. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.
Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, abortions are routinely performed in Meteorola's hospitals, main battle tanks stalk the woods of Meteorola in search of Lightning Bugs, and Meteorola's educational system is the envy of many and regarded as a pinnacle of educational achievement. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meteorola's national animal is the Lightning Bug, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Degree.
