The Federal Republic of The Western Balkan Federation is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 122 million West Balkaners have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 51.6%.
The very strong West Balkan economy, worth 7.86 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,409 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
Seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, Maxtopians are both starving and giddy after the West Balkan military unleashed its biological weapons, and in musicals everybody's a little bit racist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Western Balkan Federation's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
The Western Balkan Federation is ranked 235,751st in the world and 1,239th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 366.04 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
