The Republic of Cub is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, unlimited-speed roads, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed population of 224 million Cubians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 35.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Cubian economy, worth 14.2 trillion Monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 63,427 Monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, the nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, and the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cub's national animal is the Mexican Mouse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Cub is ranked 95,908th in the world and 9th in TRA for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,231.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
