Worjurn

The United Socialist States of Worjurn is a very large, environmentally stunning nation located in the far northeast of Dawn, remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 173 million Worjurnians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Worjurnian economy, worth 9.74 trillion Peeses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail and Soda Sales. Average income is 56,325 Peeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

History of Worjurn
A relatively new country, Worjurn is two years old. Originally, it was an authoritarianist country called Morkan. The poorest citizens rose up in a revolt causing 226 deaths and 402 people injured most police officers, on January 17th, 2012. This revolt was called the Freedom Riot, and the Freedom Riot is still celebrated by the Worjurnians on its anniversary, every January 17th. The rebellion went into hiding and secretly started ambushing government outposts for weapons over the next 2 years. A government patrol came across the secret base of the rebellion on May 23rd, 2014, and the ensuing battle cost 693 members of the rebellion their lives, and 234 government soldiers. This great lossby
