UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy

Location: The North Pacific
The Rogue Nation of Ignis Fatuus Now is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Social Welfare, and Defence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Automobile Manufacturing.

Thieves are flogged in public for their crimes, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, euthanasia is legal, and the government is avowedly atheist. Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Ignis Fatuus Now's national animal is the parrot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the sponge ball.

Ignis Fatuus Now is ranked 2868th in the region and 50,055th in the world for Nudest.
