The All Conquering State of Neo Oztralya is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, parental licensing program, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 877 million Neo Oztralyans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ben Lomond. The average income tax rate is 77.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Neo Oztralyan economy, worth 34.5 trillion Ozzie dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 39,371 Ozzie dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, prudishness is on the way out, the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', and droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo Oztralya's national animal is the Tasmanian Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

But do you have pirates, compulsory military service, and a recently annexed nation under your sway?

The Dominion of Clovennia is a fledgling, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The cynical population of 5 million Clovennians 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 large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 47.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Clovennian economy, worth 168 billion Bitcoinss a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 33,784 Bitcoinss, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clovennia's national animal is the Caterpillar.

1% of deaths in Neo Oztralya are the results of 'suicide while in police custody'. That's unnerving.
