“Corruption is better than oppression”

The United Republics of Nadkor is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed population of 12.079 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, the Environment, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

The government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, organ donation is compulsory, and the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people'. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nadkor's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Nadkorian Dollar.

Nadkor is ranked 3882nd in the region and 53,074th in the world for Largest Basket Weaving Sector.
