The Democratic Republic of Poker Ocidental is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 358 million Poker ocidentalians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kapi. The average income tax rate is 29.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Poker Ocidentalian economy, worth 27.3 trillion Pkrs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,285 Pkrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
