Hello! I am one of the new nations that has joined this region. Here is my nation in a nutshell.
"The Rogue Nation of Kootni is a tiny, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of Kootnish are ruled by one person and his executive branch. While the international community routinely condemns the government for being too harsh and authoritarian, the people show little interest in overturning their new, reasonably stable government.
The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. As the country has stabilized, the government has begun investing heavily in welfare and infrastructure as well. The average income tax rate is 38.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The fair Kootish economy, worth 237 billion Bits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,922 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The number of students attending university has reached a record high; the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community; and the government has begun investing heavily in infrastructure. Unfortunately, most of this infrastructure is old and damaged from years of war and poor maintenance. As of late, bridges, tunnels, and other vital pieces have begun crumbling faster than they can be repaired. As a result, the Kootish Government is seen as only investing in infrastructure after a disaster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare.
"
Obviously, this is based heavily on the in-game description. However, I changed it enough to be a half-way believable description of Kootni (or any other nation for that matter).
