The Nation

The United States of Schnabo is a huge, devout nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 268 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 80%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

The government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and army rations are served on silver platters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Schnabo's national animal is the Schnaboon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Schnab.

The main languages in Schnabo is Schnan, a language spoken by approx 136 millon people, and English, which is spoken by the whole population exept some areas in the east. Schnan is also more common in the east than in the west. The most common religions is Christianity (Catholism) and Schnaboism.


The national day is Nov 22, the day of the nations founding.
