“So Much To Say”

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

The Queen's State of Red-Feather is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 37.817 billion Red-Featherians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The very strong Red-Featherian economy, worth a remarkable 1,244 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 32,918 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 223,804 per year while the poor average 1,768, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The military frequently holds bake sales to raise funds, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, Red-Feather has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and the Governor has just been declared ruler of Red-Feather in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Red-Feather's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Red-Feather is ranked 309,162^nd in the world and 1^st in Red Feather for Highest Poor Incomes, with 1,768.75 Standard Monetary Units.
