The Eastern Republic of Smokey Island

“The best tank terrain is that without anti-tank weapons”

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

The Eastern Republic of Smokey Island is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 45.757 billion Smokey Islandians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment is ignored. The average income tax rate is 66.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Smokey Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 6,227 trillion smokey dollars a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,089 smokey dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Waste is frequently shipped to other countries, voting has become a nightmare since everyone keeps selecting "None of the above", same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Smokey Island's national animal is the ground hog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Smokey Island is ranked 269,687^th in the world and 1,282^nd in The Communist Bloc for Nicest Citizens, with 0.59 average smiles per day.
