The Republic of Redravin is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level social equality free of the usual accompanying government corruption.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 38%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Retail, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving industries.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Redravin's national animal is the werewolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the bot.
