www.nationstates.net/nation=treadcobble The Nomadic Peoples of Treadcobble is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, cynical population of 12 million Treadcobblites are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 45%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Basket Weaving industry.
The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is totally unknown. Treadcobble's national animal is the Camel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Favor.

Treadcobble The Nomadic Peoples of Treadcobble is a small, genial nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical population of 40 million Treadcobblites are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 42%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Basket Weaving Industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Book Publishing.
Fearful citizens watch their every move as does their government, nudity is frowned upon, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and Treadcobble's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Treadcobble's national animal is the Camel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Favor.
Treadcobble is ranked 655th in 10000 Islands and 69,107th in the world for Least Corrupt Governments, scoring -32 on the Inverse Mugabe Relativity Rating.

Treadcobble The Nomadic Peoples of Treadcobble is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 108 million Treadcobblites are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Public Transport, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 25%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Basket Weaving industry.
Chemically brainwashed citizens praise Leader's name on an hourly basis, a massive campaign is underway to ensure the race of Treadcobble remains pure, people eagerly queue days at A&E to wait for their free healthcare, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Treadcobble's national animal is the Camel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Favor.
