Consolidated Investment Holdings of Utopia Ltd

The Consolidated Investment Holdings of Utopia Limited, commonly referred to as Utopia Ltd, was formed just after the Great Depression caused many nations to fall into bankruptcy.

A consortium of major banks and businesses which had survived the crash grouped together and acquired five countries. They then combined this territory into one nation, effectively an entirely privatized nation, which they called Consolidated Investment Holdings of Utopia Limited.

They put large investments into entertainment, transportation, and generating new industry, which attracted great immigration from the countries who were collapsing from recession.

All of these citizens, however, are regarded as shareholders of the company/country. Each year shareholders must buy a new stake in the company; effectively, this is what other nations regard as tax.

Almost everything in Utopia Ltd is privatized including education, policing, and fire fighting services.

Utopia Ltd is also home to the worlds tallest building. Built in the capital World Finance City, the IDA Ministry of Membership Tower stands a staggering kilometer high. The building contains the offices for the Ministry of Membership of the Imperial Dominion Alliance. Here new members are actively recruited to join one of the worlds most influential alliances.

The CEO of Utopia Ltd also has great pride in being the Minister of Recruitment for the Imperial Dominion States.

The Consolidated Investment Holdings of Utopia Ltd is a tiny, moderate nation, remarkable for its harmony between citizens and politicians. Its population of 2.43 million Shareholders 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 average national tax rate is 29.00%.

Bakers peddle their surplus bread. Shareholders have been known to "go commando" after meager meals. Several (about seven) small, pick-wielding men with a penchant for pale, sleepy women have emigrated here. Lumberjacks have been roaming the streets informing passerbys that they are, in fact, "okay."

The populace is incredibly well-fed by its budding gourmet culture. The country is renowned for being very well-dressed. Only the top percentile of healthy drivers are given the privilege of being organ donors thanks to the abundance of medical supplies. The country has become famous for its well stocked silos of materials feeding industries all that they require. As people adjust to the brown-outs more and more children are learning to play hide-and-seek. Workers are known for their incredible punctuality thanks to the world-class supply of transportation. More and more elite officers are graduating from military training. The country is known for its new renaissance of entertainment art.

Utopia Ltd's fearless leader resides in the nation's capital of World Finance City, making grand decisions typically with a pet Monkey curled-up on the carpet.
