“Whiskey Tango Foxtrot”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Dominion of Eqalugaarsuit is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.031 billion Eqalugaarsuitians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Eqalugaarsuitian economy, worth 163 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 20,306 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eqalugaarsuit's national animal is the Zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eqalugaarsuit is ranked 182,587^th in the world and 21^st in Crystal Falls for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
