The Queendom of Galadhremmin is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate population of 6 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level social equality free of the usual accompanying government corruption.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 55%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Soda Sales.
Crime is well under control. Galadhremmin's national animal is the dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the galadh. |
