Sapphire Coast
The Democratic Republic of Sapphire Coast is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 217 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 85%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
Pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government, torture is illegal, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and bizarre-looking creatures called 'black-footed catdogs' dominate wildlife preserves. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sapphire Coast's national animal is the black-footed cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the noble.
History
Government
The centre of Sapphire Coast's government is located in Emileah, the capital city. Throughout history, the country's presidents have prided themselves on working closely with Sapphire Coast's citizens. For the most part, they put the people's agenda before their own, in the spirit of a true democracy.
Languages
Sapphire Coast has three official languages: Sahrilein, English, and French. Sahrileihn is the country's native language, though the majority of Sapphire Coast's citizens speak English and French. For centuries, Sahrilein seemed to be dying out, but during the past eight hundred years, its popularity has grown. This is mainly due to the Leinahli Movement.
Geography
This country's long and scenic coastline is a must see. The capital of Emileah is located at the tip of the Emilean Peninsula. Sapphire Coast shares its southern border with Uzbekistan and Solomon, its northern border with Poornimites, and its mountainous western border with Elphabaleah.
