Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis
The United States of Alsted is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by a federal presidency with a fair hand, and notable for its restrictive gun laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 9.228 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 Education, Defence, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Alsteden. The average income tax rate is 42%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Woodchip Exports and Tourism.
The government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, and private business has started paving paradises and putting up parking lots. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alsted's national animal is the Snowy Owl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Alstedian Dollar.
Alsted is ranked 153rd in Europe and 28,440th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
