The Republic of Xpress is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning turtle population. The hard-working population of 1.983 billion Xpressians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.1%.
The Xpressian economy, worth 78.5 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 39,577 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xpress's national animal is the turtle.
Xpress is ranked 148,575th in the world and 656th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,022.49 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
