“The Unity of the People”

The Republic of Allrule is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor Angela Rechstaf with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.057 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Education, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lakrish. The average income tax rate is 67%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government is avowedly atheist, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space. Crime is relatively low. Allrule's national animal is the raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Agnosticism, and its currency is the deutsche mark.

Allrule is ranked 182nd in the region and 53,858th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
