Basic Information

The Dominion of PokeScience is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 10 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Law & Order and Healthcare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 55%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Basket Weaving.

The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, euthanasia is illegal, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PokeScience's national animal is the loud and proud fish, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the sprength.

Geography

Size: Around 20 PokoMeters Square (25 Kelometers Squared)

Climate: Tropical, however the heat is harnessed and stored as a back up energy source.

The Island PokeScience is built on is surrounded by owerful currents focing all boats and fish in the nearby area to be brought inwards towards shore. Swimming is forbidden because of this danger.

Economy

The Dominion of PokeScience's Economy is very rich and plentiful due to the large exports of Poking technology such as the Pokology Drive which powers around 15.7% of PokeScience's Research Labs. Also, the people of PokeScience are all very dependant of many imports from other nations due to its lack of research into anything else except the alternative energies from Poking. However, Profits from the highly efficiant Basket Weaving Industry form around 27% of the Net Gain of PokeScience.

Technology

The Technological Advances of PokeScience are very advanced by harnessing of energy from poking. These energy sources can last for a whole year of constant use.

Other Advances have allowed for Hover Transport due to Magnetic roads and generators.
