“In conflictione veritas”

The Federated States of SHAYTAN UKHIROSS is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.866 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Healthcare and Social Welfare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Union City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Gambling.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, criminals are thrown to the phoenixs to repay their debt to society, and houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries. Crime is totally unknown. SHAYTAN UKHIROSS's national animal is the phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the kural.

SHAYTAN UKHIROSS is ranked 2459th in the region and 54,071st in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
