Poverty rates are high among the indigenous majority, and the cycle of migration to the city centers for work has created huge slums around the country’s major cities, fostering an active sex trade and sex tourism there. Many of those who remain in the country’s rural areas find that illegal drug crops yield more income than traditional fruits and vegetables, and the law enforcement does not have the resources to find and prosecute these lawbreakers.
REDONIA
INTRODUCTION
This South-East Asian country features stunning rainforests and used to be the primary supplier of the world’s coffee and cocoa, as well as other aromatic spices. Already well-established as the home of an advanced mercantile empire, Redonia avoided colonization by any European powers, instead becoming a valuable trading partner. With the assassination of the Redonian Imperial family during an invasion of the second world war, the country was left leaderless. When the war ended, Redonia was returned to its people, and a public referendum determined the nature of the new Redonian government – a constitution-based republic. The past decade has seen a renewal in economic policy for the stagnated Redonian resource-based economy through focus on growth and innovation within their manufacturing sectors. Powerful environmental and industrial lobby groups are lining the pockets of well-placed Redonian politicians to ensure their re-election and support for their respective causes.
