The Democratic Republic of Les Droogs is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 27%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Information Technology.
Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Les Droogs's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the droog.
