The Republic of Wurrtenberg is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 98 million Wurrtenbergians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 7.4%.
The Wurrtenbergian economy, worth 5.49 trillion marks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 55,972 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.
The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, businesses are forced to bring all work back within the nation's borders, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Wurrtenberg's national animal is the European Gar, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Wurrtenberg is ranked 153,863rd in the world and 325th in Refugia for Most Income Equality, scoring 26.24 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
