The Democratic Republic of Peoples Federation of the Sahel is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 305 million Sahelians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Sahelian economy, worth 5.02 trillion Cedis 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 Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 16,473 Cedis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peoples Federation of the Sahel's national animal is the Vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Peoples Federation of the Sahel is ranked 217,951st in the world and 198th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Fattest Citizens, with 9.23 Obesity Rate.
