The State of Snass is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.324 billion Snassians 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 49.1%.
The Snassian economy, worth a remarkable 1,327 trillion betales 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 42,376 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Voting is voluntary, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and Snass has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Snass's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Snass is ranked 234,433rd in the world and 8th in Gabon for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 21,569.51 Standard Monetary Units.
