Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis
The Most Serene Republic of The Ramtop Mountains is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Dragon population. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 289 million 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, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 38%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry.
Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, organ donation rates have hit a new low, meat-eating is frowned upon, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime is totally unknown. The Ramtop Mountains's national animal is the Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the guinea.
The Ramtop Mountains is ranked 1st in Alliance of the Rainbow Coffee House and 11,734th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -7 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
