Greetings to all nations! As part of my program as recently elected president of the Armed Republic of Brown Meteor to end our isolationism and build a far more modern country, I would like to share some facts about ourselves so we can become a little better known to the world. And now I, Karl von Hastok, shall begin with a simple summary of our nation:
The Armed Republic of Brown Meteor is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning falcon population. Its hard-nosed population of 10 million 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28%. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Arms Manufacturing.
Elections have been outlawed, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime is moderate. Brown Meteor's national animal is the falcon and its currency is the dollar.
Now here, is our budget for those of you that care:
Total Spending Ability: $20 Billion
Military: $10 Billion
Education: $5 Billion
Healthcare: $1 Billion
Law and Order: $2 Billion
Other Social Programs: $3 Billion
We currently have no enemies or allies.
And our current military status(though it is incomplete, as we are going through current rebuilding after I scrapped our old obsolete units):
Recently Purchased(though the purchase hasn't been completed yet)
20 Queva Fighters, 10 Beyla Fighter/Bombers, 10 Yarui Cargo Planes
ooc: I'm new here and wondering, how long is a NS year? I read the faqs, and that didn't seem to be covered. Then again, I might have just missed it. Thanks.
