THE BORDERLANDS OF SEQUOJEDA
"Yggdrasil is our job"
UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Good
Economy: Reasonable
Political Freedoms: Excellent
Regional Influence: Minnow
The Borderlands of Sequojeda is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.855 billion 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 Education, the Environment, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 72%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
Referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, highschool principals regularly send armed truancy patrols to drag problem students to school, and the Sequojeda Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sequojeda's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the orbis.
Sequojeda is ranked 913th in the region and 63,633rd in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
