Nation Update

The Rogue Nation of Teq is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning spider monkey population. Its intelligent population of 56 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 34%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Information Technology.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, sex offenders find themselves 'cut off' from any ability to repeat their crimes, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, and torture is illegal. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teq's national animal is the spider monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the teq.

Teq is ranked 44th in the region and 98,578th in the world for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector.
