from the geofiction site : NationStates _The Radical Centrist Republic of Condunum_ (http://www.nationstates.net/nation=condunum) The Radical Centrist Republic of Condunum is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jakson Cole with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.159 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated. It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felynestrum. The average income tax rate is 79%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing. Abortions are routinely performed in Condunum's hospitals, prison visits increase substantially during election years, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Condunum's national animal is the Fire Panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Condus. Condunum is ranked 7th in _Union of Epic Nations_ (http://www.nationstates.net/region=union_of_epic_nations) and 11,954th in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 5 on the _Fann-Boi Productivity Index_ (http://www.nationstates.net/nations=condunum/page=compare) .
