The Republic of Soylmon is a massive, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, digital currency, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed population of 1.857 billion Soylmonians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 40.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Soylmonian economy, worth 56.8 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 30,584 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Gay hospital patients are labelled with a pink triangle to alert staff of their substandard blood, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, and concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soylmon's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Soylmon is ranked 134,187th in the world and 93rd in Dimmersun for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 735.72 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
