“Memento Mori”

The The Socialist Fatherland of Great National is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Director General with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program. Its compassionate population of 3.832 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kildare City. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Artists are pillars of society, anti-environmentalist protesters are gunned down without mercy, the government has enacted freedom of information, and Great National's famous countrysides are shrouded by wind farms. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great National's national animal is the owl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the National.

Great National is ranked 26th in the region and 54,845th in the world for Largest Publishing Industry.
