The Republic of Northeastern Italian

“Respect is not earned through money, but with weapons”

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

The Republic of Northeastern Italian is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Provisional Government with a fair hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.243 billion Northeastern Italianians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Venice. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Northeastern Italianian economy, worth 194 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 156,104 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, and soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northeastern Italian's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Northeastern Italian is ranked 43,936^th in the world and 186^th in Europeia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,147.3 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
