Afghanistan

Afghanistan is a medium sized, somewhat developed, and established nation at 159 days old with citizens primarily of Pashtun ethnicity whose religion is Islam. It is a backwards nation when it comes to technology and many refer to it unkindly as a 'Third World Nation'. Its citizens pay extremely high taxes and many despise their government as a result. The citizens of Afghanistan work diligently to produce Lead and Marble as tradable resources for their nation. It is a mostly neutral country when it comes to foreign affairs. It will usually only attack another nation if attacked first. Afghanistan is currently researching nuclear technology for the use of nuclear power plants but believes nuclear weapons should be banned. The military of Afghanistan has been positioned at all border crossings and is arresting all drug traffickers. Afghanistan allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor things and arrest lawbreakers. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Free speech is considered taboo in Afghanistan. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. The government of Afghanistan will trade with any other country regardless of ethical consequences.
