The People's Republic of Nextopia is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.313 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Social Welfare and Public Transport are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 58%, and even higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.
Space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, the government has taken a 'sort it out yourselves' approach to fighting malaria, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and notable individuals are granted land and titles. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nextopia's national animal is the rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the whuffie.
Nextopia is ranked 413th in the region and 13,391st in the world for Nudest.
