The Disputed Territories of Nueva Orinoquia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 566 million Nueva Orinoquians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Spirituality, although Defense, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 46.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Nueva Orinoquian economy, worth 13.4 trillion Orinoquiano Points a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 23,612 Orinoquiano Points, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nueva Orinoquia's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Nueva Orinoquia is ranked 180,004th in the world and 4,891st in Balder for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 560.67 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
