The Republic of Coxites is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Sheep population. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 35%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Cheese Exports and Furniture Restoration.
Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coxites's national animal is the Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Cox.
