The Rogue Nation of New Tira is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.258 billion New Tirans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient New Tiran economy, worth 109 trillion shekels a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,694 shekels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, the tightness of border controls in New Tira leave a little to be desired, hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Tira's national animal is the pheonix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
New Tira is ranked 219,755th in the world and 6,572nd in Lazarus for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 40.67 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
