The Rogue Nation of Opera Lovers is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Information Technology.
Crime is a major problem. Opera Lovers's national animal is the soprano, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the lira.
