The Free Republic of East Moravia is a enormous, socially progressive nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 716 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 devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Healthcare and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 89%, 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.
College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, guns are banned, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force.
East Moravia's national animal is the borgolo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the gecko.
