The United Holy Republic of Rebirth Island is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jamil Khan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 8.716 billion Rebirth Islandians 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 enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aral. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Rebirth Islandian economy, worth 578 trillion Rebirth Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 66,328 Rebirth Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Jamil Khan's speeches are beloved by insomniacs, nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, Eagles that venture near secret military bases are shipped off to prison for espionage, and the dartboard at the Rebirth Islandian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Jamil Khan's face. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rebirth Island's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Rebirth Island is ranked 19,207th in the world and 3rd in The Slide Countries for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,054.05 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
