Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The People's Republic of LeonDegrelle is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by SturmBannFuhrer Degrelle with an even hand, and notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.431 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.

The large government devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Social Equality and Healthcare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of LeonDegrelle City. The average income tax rate is 7%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

The government now pays the "Really Awesome Super Heroes" (RASH) to catch evildoers, nude art is becoming wildly popular, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LeonDegrelle's national animal is the adler, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the reich mark.

LeonDegrelle is ranked 337th in the South Pacific and 11,693rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
