The Republic of Spranten is a large, pleasant nation with a beautiful coastline.
Founded in 1874 after a long and traumatic war of independence, Spranten has a strong national identity, founded on a unique musical and poetic tradition, and a strong belief in direct democracy. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 40 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms.
The political process is open and the many newspapers, radio stations and TV companies are free of political interference by statute.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Religion & Spirituality, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22%. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Voting and national service are both compulsory.
Economically, Spranten is well-developed. There is a large private sector. The country is self-sufficient in food, with substantial exports from the large surpluses produced. In addition, the verdant forests underwrite the world-famous specialised woodchip industry.
Spranten's national animal is the hoopoo and its currency is the olag.
