New Crusinger

New Crusinger is an Inoffensive Centrist Democracy created by Predator65 on NationStates. It is located in the 10000 Islands region.

Description
The Democratic Republic of New Crusinger is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Marko Kunjović with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and aversion to nipples. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.015 billion New Crusingerians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tarlin. The average income tax rate is 49.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving New Crusingerian economy, worth 130 trillion Perts a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,866 Perts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, the tightness of border controls in New Crusinger leave a little to be desired, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and recorded music can be rented but not bought from record companies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Crusinger's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

New Crusinger is ranked 169,546th in the world and 1,788th in 10000 Islands for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.86 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.

Discovering (1586-1799)
The first people to discover New Crusinger were the Norwegians. They discovered a primitive civilization on the island. It was soon colonized by the Norwegians and the indigenous people rebelled against the Norwegians. In a bloody war, they managed to kick the Norwegians out. Later on, they were discovered by French merchants, who claimed the island.

Becoming a Society (1800-Present)
Thanks to the French occupation the technology greatly improved. They soon built a capital city and became a French colony. With a French puppet government. They named the country New Crusinger. The first religion this country entered the country was Protestantism. Because of the French occupation. Soon Catholics also arrived on the island, and, after escalating tensions, agreed to split up the land between them. New Crusinger soon rebelled against the French and went to war with them. France won the war. The French controlled it for 50 more years until 1900 when the New Crusingerians declared independence and went to war and won. Their primary language became Croatian thanks to the large Croatian population that moved in in the 19th century, now, over 80% of New Crusingerians were Croats. In World War 1 New Crusinger was Neutral but favored the Entente, frequently trading with them. During the 1920s and 30s, it developed a good relationship with Yugoslavia and Great Britain. In World War 2 New Crusinger was on the Allied side and in 1939 declared war on Germany. It sent some troops to Norway after it was Occupied but the Axis defeated them and invaded New Crusinger, occupying it. At the end of the war, it was liberated by the allies. It stayed neutral during the Cold War and became a very technologically advanced state.
