The Free Lands of Scriptores - episode II

I like to keep you up to date so here's some info on my very own country:

The Free Land of Scriptores is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate population of 222 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 61%, and even higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Book Publishing and Door-to-door Insurance Sales.

The government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "Love and peace!" as a way of life, and smoking is banned in public areas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scriptores's national animal is the goldfish, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the wooden nickel.

Scriptores is ranked 23rd in the region and 6,862nd in the world for Most Income Equality.
