abstract
| - The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Savalen City. The average income tax rate is 21.2%, but much higher for the wealthy. The very strong Savalenian economy, worth 87.6 trillion Tugriks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 97,286 Tugriks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens. Citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, divorce lawyers are found begging on the streets, and animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs. Crime is totally unknown. Savalen's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
