“Fremde Haut”

The Democratic States of Fariba Tabrizi is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.086 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Defence and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 54%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Pizza Delivery.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Fariba Tabrizi's national animal is the trichoplax, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the tsar bomba.

Fariba Tabrizi is ranked 4th in the region and 14,160th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
