Save the Lemurs!

The Democratic Republic of Embilia has been having a bit of an environmental problem, as it's been known for its barren, inhospitible landscapes for quite some time now. Our national animal, the ring-tailed lemur, teetered on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Luckily, we in Embilia's enormous government have turned things around and our very large, socially progressive nation, is becoming renowned for its burgeoning Ring-Tailed Lemur population! And all it cost the citizens was a modest 2% increase in the tax rate (which, of course, is much higher for the wealthy) to 35%. Meanwhile, Steve is proud of his complete lack of income tax, so his people can keep more of their money (which they are subsequently murdered for).
