The State of Snelltown is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 30.899 billion Towners 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 15.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Snelltownian economy, worth a remarkable 1,228 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,748 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
The Governor has just been declared ruler of Snelltown in an international press conference, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, Snelltown successfully hosted the Minnesota Olympics, and Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Snelltown. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Snelltown's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Snelltown is ranked 190,665th in the world and 5th in Minnesota for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
