Welcome.
The Federal Republic of Kansiov is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate population of 1.48 billion 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.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 78%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology industries.
Pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, the government is reining in public spending, and Kansiov is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kansiov's national animal is the golden eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Kansiovian Dollar.
