The Republic of HASHandWEED is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million 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 Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 25%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.
Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. HASHandWEED's national animal is the stoner fish, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the tokens.
