Life in Anblia

[Puffyfish]

In the United Socialist States of Anblia, you are required at the age of 18 to do 2 years of military service in any department that needs personnel, but what about when you get out of the Armed Forces? What are your options to start a life in Anblia, and what is it like when you do? Well no matter what you choose, it will take place in either the factories of the big cities, or the farms of the rural fields. If you choose the former, be prepared for awful conditions, long hours, bad infrastructure, and low wages, and the latter isn't too much better, operating outdated sharp farm equipment, long hours in either the scalding heat or the freezing snow, and the best part is, the government controls it all, and your wages will probably never increase. If a citizen of Anblia wants to start a family, they must first go through a long marriage process, and yes, you do have to get married to have children, if you don't, you will have to cover the costs of everything the child does, and you will receive no government help. There is no policy on number of children, and you are actually encouraged to have children, because who doesn't love potential new members of the workforce? But what about the affairs of the government? Our glorious leader Patrik Anslopav isn't exactly a mentally stable guy, the stress of running the nation has caused his poor mind to vastly destabilize. He finds himself questioning the legitimacy of his rule, hence why he is determined to install some sort of democracy in Anblia. Seeing as Anslopav can't do his job very well, his various ministers do the job of taking care of his country for the most part. The propaganda minister does a great job of rallying the people against any cause that opposes them, such as any nation that may get in the way of reuniting Anblia with the ocean by claiming that in the times of ancient, Anblia was a great, seafaring tribe that lived on the coast, the funny part being, this ancient powerful seafaring tribe never even existed! Unlike most socialist nations however, they are unusually tame towards capitalism, and have no real problem collaborating with capitalist nations. In conclusion, despite bad conditions, the Anblian people are driven by patriotism, propaganda, and fear, while the government is driven by pursuit of control, power, and order.
