The Democratic Republic of High Wood is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and frequent executions. The hard-working population of 4.656 billion High Woodians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.9%.
The High Woodian economy, worth 212 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 45,727 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, Leader's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, and the new one Delta Eagle coin also makes a handy throwing-star. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. High Wood's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
High Wood is ranked 190,049th in the world and 1st in Alexander Berkman for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 22.86 Effective Tax Rate.
