General Overview

The Technocratic Republic of the Digital Network is a large, devout nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate population of 20 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The Republic was founded on 29th August 2005.

Government & Economy

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 Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 50%, and even higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

The Digital Network is also home to the largest Internet and Media Company in the Simtropolis Region, Infoengine Corporation and as well as the largest telecommunications company in the Simtropolis Region, Com.uni.glo Corporation.

All Companies on the Kedalfaxian Stock Exchange are now or can trade inside the Digital Network without any restrictions.

Also any company can enter and trade inside the country unless it is good for the country, the Government believes that free trade equals excellent relations with other regions and countries, and therefore does not add any extra taxes to foreign companies. But all companies (Both Foreign and Domestic) must follow DNMACC (Digital Network Mergers, Acquisitions and Competitor Commission) Guidelines, rules and regulations.

Civil Rights, Political Rights, Geography and Nature

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and extreme political groups are outlawed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Digital Network's national animal is the computer mouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the gigabyte.
