Sapphire Coast
The Democratic Republic of Sapphire Coast is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 423 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 Social Welfare, Education, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 87%, 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.
The people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, colleges adhere to rigid ethnic quotas for admissions, and the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned. Crime is totally unknown. 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.
Sapphire Coast's most common unofficial language is Meqilé, a dialect of Sahrilein thought to be partially influenced by the French language. It is spoken mainly in the northeastern region of the country.
In Sapphire Coast, it is custom to greet others with the common Sahrilein greeting, "Sahah i areim opei ei" ("Hello and peace to you").
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 Gwan Chimone, and its mountainous western border with Elphabaleah.
