The People's Republic of Italian Socialist Federation is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 405 million Italians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 53.1%.
The Italian economy, worth 19.5 trillion Lire a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,192 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.
Tough diplomacy is often best handled with a nutcracker, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, the realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools, and ticket touts are blamed for the downfall of communism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Italian Socialist Federation's national animal is the Canis Lupus Italicus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Italian Socialist Federation is ranked 63,800th in the world and 2,941st in Balder for Safest, scoring 97.93 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
