The People's Republic of Nicopia

“United in solidarity”

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

The People's Republic of Nicopia is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 175 million Nicopians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Nicopian economy, worth 1.73 trillion sandarnts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 9,913 sandarnts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolchildren's "what I did on my holidays" essays tend to be somewhat homogeneous, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state, and armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nicopia's national animal is the bluejay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nicopia is ranked 178,789^th in the world and 691^st in The Leftist Assembly for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 316.61 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
