The Republic of Lower Evium Tarah is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.368 billion Tarahnians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Tarahian economy, worth 173 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 73,174 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
School plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, the military has grudgingly released all top secret information in an effort for greater transparency, businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lower Evium Tarah's national animal is the Vali's Mom, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
