Kostemetsia is a WA Member

The Commonwealth and Territories of Kostemetsia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.446 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Public Transport are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 79%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, citizens are frequently held up at gunpoint by their local pizza delivery boys, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kostemetsia's national animal is the koala, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Argentar.

Kostemetsia is ranked 583rd in the region and 69,971st in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
