The Protectorate of The Melanesian Islands is a very large, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 82 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Social Equality, and Social Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Trout Farming and Furniture Restoration.
Shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, the use of martial arts is banned, and the nation's massive battleships are often mistaken for islands. Crime is moderate. The Melanesian Islands's national animal is the Melanesian tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the principo.
Government
The Protectorate of the Melanesian Islands is ruled as an autonomous nation within the Holy Empire of Uzbekistan and Solomon. The city of Fortuna Bay is the local centre of jurisdiction, while the courts and higher government offices are located in Tashmara, Uzbekistan and Solomon.
Economy
The economy of The Melanesian Islands is increasingly diverse. It is the economical powerhouse of the lower Carterian continent, and enjoys one of the highest GDP per capitas in the world. Economy is mostly based on tourism and its offshoot - gambling, located in many of the resort towns that dot the major eight islands. Also important are trout farming, which is based on the main island, and furniture restoration, which revolves around the cities.
Geography
The Melanesian Islands are made up of eight inhabited islands and hundreds of tiny, uninhabitable shoals and atolls. The main island is Great Melanesian Is., which is also the largest. Seven other islands are also important to the country, and all are connected by ferry service, as well as airplane service.
