Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Empire of Liberal Ukraine is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Vadim Shevchenko with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 15.703 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, Law & Order, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kiev. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Expensive lawyers are hired to defend citizens in court for public urination charges against their pets, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, and government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Liberal Ukraine's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the hryvnia.

Liberal Ukraine is ranked 149th in USSR and 99,665th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
