The Rogue Nation of Rabid Dingos is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed population of 10 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Social Equality, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 42%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration industries.
TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, all recreational drugs are legal, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, public nudity is compulsory, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Rabid Dingos's national animal is the Dingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Phucker.

The Free Land of Freason is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 10 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Social Equality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 20%. A large private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.
Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, Freason's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the government is slowly introducing social welfare programs, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Freason's national animal is the FOSSbearpig, and its currency is the FOSSil.
