Background

The Confederacy of Schrijvera is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, cynical population of 6 million are ruled by a psychotic dictator, but he is ruling the nation with the help of his assistants and his medication.

The government is a Byzantine, socialist government, and is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Religion & Spirituality and Healthcare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 46%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports industries.

Voting is voluntary. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Schrijvera's national animal is the thorny devil, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency, the Schrijveran Dollar, is starting to take flight since the change-over from the US Dollar.
