The Democratic Republic of The Tar Heel Nation is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning ram population. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 332 million hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Education, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 27%. A robust private sector is led by the Retail, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration industries.

Referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, the government's new 'Crime Can Fight Itself' policy appears to be backfiring rather badly, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is pervasive, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Tar Heel Nation's national animal is the ram, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the dollar.
