The Democratic Republic of Very small island


The Democratic Republic of Very small island is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 360 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84%. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Only "organics" are permitted to be citizens, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, the government seizes all major gold finds, and the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Very small island's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the force.

Since Very Small Island was founded it has been involved in a few international incidents. Firstly a VSI backed terror group launched attacks against Hataria which resulted in VSI being invaded by a Hatarian led coalition. The country was then taken over be these countries for a short time before it was feed by another groups of nations
