The Free Land of Southern Guol is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Fedd Kilroy the III with a fair hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.858 billion Southern Guolians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galten. The average income tax rate is 67.0%.
The powerhouse Southern Guolian economy, worth 372 trillion Lints a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,739 Lints, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
Wildlife have trouble navigating the electric fences surrounding national forests, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, heavy industry grinds to a halt as new equipment must be biked in, and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Galten Times is sold out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Southern Guol's national animal is the Dik dik, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Southern Guol is ranked 131,583rd in the world and 5,126th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,191.02 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
