The Allied States of Fukuhara is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 591 million Fukuharians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 39.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Fukuharan economy, worth 35.0 trillion Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 59,207 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, intelligence agencies frequently invite passers-by into their secret vaults for tea and biscuits, and the official Fukuharan Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fukuhara's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Fukuhara is ranked 137,323rd in the world and 10th in Adaven for Most Corrupt Governments, with 4.75 kickbacks per hour.
