I started a new country today...over at Technologia, thanks to NationStates. It's a nation based on freedoms and techology, where any citizens may use out modern technology to vote on any and all issues of the day. The country heads are true civil servants who do the will of the people every day.

The Free Land of Technologia is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million 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 enormous, socially-minded government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 36%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Technologia's national animal is the emperor penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the bit.

Pretty cool.
