The Matriarchy of Ewetowpia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 378 million Ewetowpians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Defense, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 60.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Ewetowpian economy, worth 6.68 trillion shekels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 17,675 shekels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Immigrants don't even have to immigrate to cost the locals their jobs, organ donation is compulsory, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and the nation is completely gun-free. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ewetowpia's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ewetowpia is ranked 177,695th in the world and 4,175th in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 362.05 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
