A strong centralist economy that demands six days a week working from all its citizens, but allows state-regulated private enterprises to flourish. The average income tax rate is 35%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, followed by an expanding Arms Manufacturing and a largely Beef-Based Agriculture. The country's rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime is totally unknown.
Geography and Climate

Avg. winter tempurature: 30 F
The land of the Kymru has a harsh and unforgiving climate, with extreme temperature ranges and a low cloud base in the Autumn.
There is an average annual rainfall of 103 inches, allowing plenty of water for crop irrigation.
Political Leaders
The Council of Seven chosen from among the Kymru’s patrician familes form the executive government, supported by a professional civil service and highly efficient police force. There are no elections. The Law operates always in favour of the state. Innocence must be proven.

History and culture
The Kymru came down like wolves out of the Bitter mountains sometime during the Age of Uncertainties. They conquered the land they now occupy between the Great Lakes and the Inland Sea and slaughtered the original inhabitants. Continually at war with their neighbours or each other (In seven centuries there have been 34 Civil Wars) the Kymru are known as ‘the scourge of God’ (or by more unprintable names) Ethnically the Kymru are said to be descendants of the Ainur of Middle Earth. They have recently adopted the current international language of English for the purposes of diplomacy, education etc. but among themselves speak an unintelligable grunt based tongue called Kyrenik which, so far, has escaped all attempts to produce a written script. In religion most follow the Cult of Stoicism, but a few conservative groups still practice the ancient faith of the Godess Kali. The Kymru are hard working, cold temprered and bound by ties of blood and honour. They each belong to one of the many clans that make up their society. Clan Vendettas are accepted as long as they are correctly registered. The Law of paterfamilias allows the Head of a Clan to punish erring members, decide disputes and fix fines. The Heads of Clans meet once a year as a Grand Council to confirm or to change the Council of Seven. Each Clan head holds the title of High Lord.
Contemporary Matters
The Kymru have been continually at war with their neighbours for the last thirty years. “Its all we’re good at,” said Chief of the Consular Defence Staff, Field Marshal Dracul Vorenus, CV, MM. The Republic spends 85% of its income on its military bedget. National Service is compulsory from 16 to 45. 90% of the scientific community work in the Defence Industries. In 2005 the Republic lost over 1,980,000 killed and over 3,785,000 wounded. There is now talk of recruiting more foreign mercenaries and women to increase numbers in the field. Brigadier General Sam Fullo has been commissioned to study the future of armoured warfare. His report will appear on our website in late September and may have radical implications for the future. Vice-Admiral Brutus Billius is likewise carrying out a review of naval and marine forces. The Kymru Armed Forces website goes on line in November 2007. The Foreign Volunteer Legions recruitment website goes on line in July 2007.
