Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Rams of Fort Rae is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 8.143 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.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Law & Order, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 22%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Automobile Manufacturing.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Fort Rae's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.

Fort Rae is ranked 1st in the Arctic Ocean and 81,645th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 0 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
