Location: Bettering Nations for the Greater Good

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Nishaloma is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.467 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Education, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5%. A large private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

Euthanasia is illegal, military funding has been stripped back, surveillance cameras are banned, and penurious citizens die from easily remedied ailments because they aren't 'taking enough initiative'. Crime is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Nishaloma's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar.

Nishaloma is ranked 264th in Bettering Nations for the Greater Good and 129,836th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 0 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
