Welcome!

Welcome to Meedvheyt! Allow me to take this time to display a few things. The following is an overview of the nation as described to anyone planning on moving into the country or looking for basic information.

Welcome to Meedvheyt! This basic guide will get you acquainted with our glorious socialist state, and hopefully answer some questions you may have. Firstly let me say that one thing people are often thrown off by is our very high income tax rate. In nations unlike our own, private industry tends to reign supreme. Here in Meedvheyt, the government takes care of all our citizens' needs. For example, housing is free in Meedvheyt! The taxes we take pay for it, with this system we have been moving to stamp out homelessness in our nation. Also, every family gets a monthly stipend to spend on groceries, as well as other menial items, such as office and house supplies. What the family has after our tax collection is seen as theirs to 'play with' in a sense. You may spend this money on whatever you wish, as your leaders have already made sure you have paid off everything for the entire year! This, much like all the other items discussed here, is gone into further detail in Factbook entries specifically for it.
Another concern is how well armed and equipped Meedvheyt is. However if you look deeper, our nation is very peace loving, as we rank highly in the pacifist category. This military machine we have built serves to protect us from outside threats, and keep nations less able to protect themselves, safe from harm. Our soldiers are beloved by the entire country, and go through rigorous training in order to call themselves protectors of Meedvheyt and her people. It may seem crazy, but we, as a nation, truly have used weapons of war to create long lasting peace.
A question asked quite often is "What about civil rights?" Well considering the often exaggerated lies spread by groups seeking our destabilization, we don't blame you for your curiosity. While there are rules some may consider strict, there is not an abuse of our people happening as some have claimed. In fact, recent surveys suggest 95% of people support the government, and that number is steadily growing! We care for our people, and that is often reflected in our civil protectors. These brave men and women risk their lives daily to keep the peace, but if you stick around you can see them spend more time grabbing a bite to eat at the local café, engaging in meaningful and lasting conversation with people just like you!
We are also asked why our government is present in so many places, from television shows all the way to the numerous public offices in every city. That answer is simple! We have been able to not bog things down using our government, but to speed up and make it more efficient. We are proud to see how easy it is to do things that take much longer in other nations, like obtaining a license to drive a car or to obtain your yearly stipend from the government. Truth be told, we are here to help you in anyway we can!
Many people who see us as an oppressive regime often point to our election system, saying it is flawed or rigged in some way. The truth here couldn't be further from their claims. Surveys have found a steady increase in support and positive ratings for the Autarch. In just one year, it jumped from 80% all the way to 95%! Now that is what we call progress. Our government is seen as a true extension to the wishes of the people, and only by trusting us as we trust you will we be able to live in complete balance.
We hope this small FAQ session was able to clear the air on some pretty controversial questions! Our nation is full of wonderful people, led by the intelligent and protected by the strong. We truly hope you will learn more about us and our customs, for example did you know every year we hold an event commemorating our victory over the oppressive government of Nagoth, where our forefathers fought for five years to be free? On that day the nation mourns for the fallen, but celebrates our freedom with rallies, military parades, massive government funded cookouts, as well as a speech from the Autarch himself on the heroism we show to this day in the defense of our great nation! Events such as that, as well as the stunning environment and truly honest, hardworking, and fun populace draw many people to vacation and instead of leaving calling for their things and staying with us!
Come and join the many who already call this land their home, and stand side by side with your fellow Meedvheytians day after day, improving not only your life but the lives of those around you! And from one Meedvheytian to (hopefully soon!) another, remember our sacred battlecry!

"Loyalty and Dedication ensure our Victory."
