The Commonwealth of Strasbourg - Metz is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 11.867 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 Social Welfare, Education, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freedom City. The average income tax rate is 86%, and even higher for the wealthy. 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.
The government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, artists are pillars of society, guns are banned, and schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strasbourg - Metz's national animal is the cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the doll hair.
Strasbourg - Metz is ranked 9th in Australia and 11,613th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 21 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
