The Federation of The Mountainous States is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 172 million Mountainous Statesians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 46.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Mountainous Statesian economy, worth 12.5 trillion motners a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 72,890 motners, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
It is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, the government spends millions of motners every year prosecuting spammers, the hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, and a recent "genocide prevention" campaign includes murdering children based on their DNA. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Mountainous States's national animal is the sun bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
The Mountainous States is ranked 65,773rd in the world and 15th in Testregionia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
