The Empire of Southern Tier is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning falcon population. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 18.582 billion Southern Tierians 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 medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 30.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Southern Tierian economy, worth 398 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,466 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Southern Tier's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Southern Tier is ranked 174,206th in the world and 1st in Eastatic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
