Firefly: That's a good idea. You can also wash your neck. I would say it was terribly taxing rather than tiring, but have you ever thought about this place that many dream of? A place a little closer to Heaven, a place where statism does not reign and where freedom is proclaimed across the country? Let me take you now to my anarcho-capitalist Freedonia. It is a pleasant land, dotted with peaceful blue lakes, adorned with white-capped mountains and babbling with verdant streams. But let's stop the flowery prose and get to the point, they have a tax burden of 5% and falling as the powers that be see the continued fruits of their massive privatizations and monetarist reforms. What makes Freedonia interesting is not so much how a libertarian nation is run, but the fact that it is bordered by several statist nations, including the dreary Sylvania which delights in cashing out its citizens for 55%. of their GDP every tedious year. Relations between Freedonia and these socialist neighbors are somewhat strained as events unfold. How Freedonia began to emerge from the darkness of statism is a story for another day, but suffice to say its good citizens came to their senses and ousted the ruling political class. in a relatively bloodless manner, as befits a non-coercive system of practice. It turns out that the last few years have been somewhat similar to the pains of a mother in labor as a beautiful, healthy child is brought into the world, to the amazement of the political world. The various class action suits brought against Freedonia's now rather small and decentralized authorities highlight what was then as opposed to what is now. Consider the class-action lawsuit by seniors demanding that someone – anyone – fix... ... middle of paper ...... not only are the best and brightest talent heading to sunnier tax climates, but companies are uprooting and following them too! These events keep leaving the debate rooms of their parliaments as pressure groups and unions demand action to be taken to remedy them. It can be assumed that unemployment is increasing in Sylvania, but this is not yet the case. A person who emigrates to Freedonia will have their position reclassified, but the companies that begin to move there are beginning to affect the Sylvanian government's desperate attempts to fill the gaps with state-controlled startups. The most notable thing is the gradual displacement of population and the higher quality of the labor force that is leaving, which drives down replacement wages and tax revenues. It goes without saying that Sylvania borrows heavily. How this will play out in the next few years is a topic for another day..
