“No econmy just a lot of civil rights”

The Commonwealth of Spanish hippies is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 479 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. 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.

A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, Spanish hippies's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and the government enforces a policy of 'from each according to their ability, to each according to the available budget'. Crime is totally unknown. Spanish hippies's national animal is the mockingbird, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the peace.

Spanish hippies is ranked 13th in the region and 51,053rd in the world for Largest Basket Weaving Sector.
