Ok, I tried to do this to fit my ideals. Here's what I ended up with:

The People's Republic of Evmanistan

"Free thought, free speech, equality for all."

UN Category: Left-wing Utopia
Civil Rights: World Benchmark
Economy: Fragile
Political Freedoms: World Benchmark

The People's Republic of Evmanistan is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 54%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Trout Farming.

Crime is totally unknown. Evmanistan's national animal is the elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the atheic.
