The Gold Kingdom of Konges is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 19.369 billion Kongians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The relatively small government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 28.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Kongesian economy, worth a remarkable 4,196 trillion Gold Bars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 216,675 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, nine-year-olds' chat logs are scoured for evidence of radicalization, and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime is totally unknown. Konges's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Athyism.
Konges is ranked 285,104th in the world and 385th in the Obsidian Highlands for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -17.03 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
