Nation Information
San Tomas More is a tiny, under developed, and new nation at 2 days old with citizens primarily of Caucasian ethnicity whose religion is Judaism. It is a backwards nation when it comes to technology and many refer to it unkindly as a 'Third World Nation'. Its citizens pay moderately high tax rates and they are somewhat unhappy in their work environments as a result. The citizens of San Tomas More work diligently to produce Oil and Gems as tradable resources for their nation. It is an aggressive country that some say has an itch for war. San Tomas More is currently researching nuclear technology for the use of nuclear power plants but believes nuclear weapons should be banned. Plans are on the way within San Tomas More to open new rehabilitation centers across the nation and educate its citizens of the dangers of drug use. San Tomas More 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. San Tomas More believes in the freedom of speech and feels that it is every citizen's right to speak freely about their government. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. San Tomas More will not make deals with another country that has a poor history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.
