The Republic of Ankara-TR is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 652 million Ankara-TRians 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.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 37.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Ankara-TRian economy, worth 24.4 trillion lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,471 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
A generation of children conceived in hell and born in strife is growing up inside government-run care villages, the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, and there is no such thing as an innocent fling in the Ankara-TRian military. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ankara-TR's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ankara-TR is ranked 243,706th in the world and 7th in Muralha for Most Influential, scoring 29 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
