The Wildlands of Golden Enclave

“The stars will be my eyes and the wind will be my hands”

The Wildlands of Golden Enclave is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Salmagundy with an even hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 11.793 billion Golden Enclaveans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Itharos. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Golden Enclavean economy, worth 285 trillion Moonstones a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 24,240 Moonstones, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, the national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid, snitches get riches, and companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Golden Enclave's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Dreaming.

Golden Enclave is ranked 256,873^rd in the world and 70^th in Caer Sidi for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -6.8 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
