“Don't Tread On Me”

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

The Free Land of Gadsenopolis is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Chair of the Executive Committee with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9.541 billion Gadsdenopolisians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gadsden City. The average income tax rate is 30.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Gadsdenopolisian economy, worth 786 trillion gold ounces a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,381 gold ounces, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, Gadsdenopolisian diplomacy is by the book, and the realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Gadsenopolis's national animal is the honeybadger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gadsenopolis is ranked 116,279^th in the world and 1,291^st in the Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 22 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
