The Gadsden Enclave

Part of the NationStates Series

The Gadsden Enclave is a sprawling and godlike continent inhabited by the Gadsden master race. It's main animal is the deadly Gadsden Snake, capable of killing any husky or mammoth from just about any range.

The Confederacy of Gadsden Enclave is a huge, economically powerful nation, renowned for its parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 488 million Enclaveans 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kentopia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Retail.

Voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, and the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Gadsden Enclave's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Serpents tongue.

Gadsden Enclave is ranked 1st in Magnificent Union of Serpent and Hound and 20,482nd in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.

The Gadsden Enclave keeps watch over The Polar Empire of Nuktuk in return for the famed Nuktuk whores to be used as spies on Gadsdens enemies.

The Enclaves other greatest ally were the Mole People, who soon dissolved into a race rather than a nation and joined both Nuktuk and the Enclave.
