Faethalria: Difference between revisions

99.9% of the population have access to portable water, flush or chemic toilets, electricity and other basic public amenities. Coupled with access to free high quality public healthcare, the average life expectancy is 71 years. Due in part to war-related trauma, noise, air and light pollution arising from urbanisation, as well as high-intensity fast-paced working environments and long working hours, depression, stress, post-traumatic stress disorders and related mental health issues have reached all time highs among adults. Furthermore, the proliferation of salty, fatty and sugary fast food, drinks and snacks, and a lack of exercise due to increasingly sedentary lifestyles, diabetes and heart related health conditions have also seen an increase. The nation faces a very low birth rate (to which the militaristic nature of the nation is partly attributed). Coupled with high life expectancy, the nation has a high old-age care burden with 3 young people supporting 1.5 elderly people putting strain on welfare schemes. Pro-natal policies have thus far proven unsuccessful however an open-door policy on migration playing on the strengths of Faethalria's lower cost of living has somewhat offset this issue.
