“Ozymos' Old Nation”

The Award Winning Republic of Ustio North is a massive, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.42 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Social Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Gambling and Automobile Manufacturing.

Torture is illegal, shaken martini sales have soared in nations surrounding Ustio North, houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, and Ustio North's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ustio North's national animal is the Wolf, and its currency is the Pound.
