Outer Kiratedt announces its arrival on the world stage.

23-11-2003, 03:02
The People's Republic of Outer Kiratedt is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 7 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level social equality free of the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 37%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Trout Farming.

Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Outer Kiratedt's national animal is the kiratedtian oraclebird, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the cathania.

Statement from The Keeper of the Biro (offial record centre) Craig Wijjy:

The history of this landlocked enclave in the region of Cannabis Island now known as Outer Kiratedt is fraught with constant conflict between the indiginous Badlyroached peoples and the various tribes that inhabit the surrounding area, the most notorious of which is the imfamous Redeye peoples, who are responsible for the massacre of 2million Badlyroached in 1856. After a long period of occupation Outer Kiratedt gained independance in 1999 and after a bloody civil war democratic elections were held, and leader of the ultra-liberal Sativa party, Hartha Bedstatin was installed as Outer Kiratedt's first Grand Roller.
