Malabra Declares a National Holiday
#1

Today, a great landmark has been reached in Malabrian society. We have hit just over 1 billion people. All of this is happening within only a year of the establishment of the constitutional monarchy. We are very proud of this accomplishment and the national government of Malabra has declared a national holiday. Smile All of our allies and IDU members are welcome to celebrate. In honor of this moment, here is the text for today according to NS.

The Constitutional Monarchy of Malabra

The Constitutional Monarchy of Malabra is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.003 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, the Environment, and Education. The average income tax rate is 75%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Highschool principals regularly send armed truancy patrols to drag problem students to school, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, the arms industry is strictly regulated, and the nation has an international reputation for compassion. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malabra's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Mikba.


With this celebration in mind, we hope to continue our stay in the IDU as it has been the perfect region up to now. Hopefully we'll celebrate our one year anniversary here like Groot Gouda did. Smile Also, I am going to try to be more active within the region, as I've been slacking.

Thanks for your attention.

My best wishes to the people of Malabra! Yuunli has now hit 10 million, so I guess it was a long way until you achieved this size. Congratulations!
