The Most Serene Republic of Postcards is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 12.764 billion Postcardsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Postcardsian economy, worth 353 trillion peace with honors a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,726 peace with honors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Euthanasia is legal, voting is voluntary, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and gambling is outlawed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Postcards's national animal is the bureaucrat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Postcards is ranked 120,043rd in the world and 2nd in New Westphalia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
