The Republic of Final Ground

“At long last, we shall control our destiny”

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

The Republic of Final Ground is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 26 million Final Groundians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 37.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The weak Final Groundian economy, worth 673 billion State Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,905 State Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, euthanasia is legal, the Final Ground Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, and young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Final Ground's national animal is the Finali Gorilla, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Final Ground is ranked 155,176^th in the world and 3,984^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,186.35 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
