The Holy Empire of Byzant is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Justinian and Theodora with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, infamous sell-swords, and aversion to nipples. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 41.799 billion Byzantians 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, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constantinople. The average income tax rate is 4.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Byzantian economy, worth a remarkable 8,718 trillion bezants a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 208,589 bezants, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.
Boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register, many friends and relatives of Justinian and Theodora have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, pocket dialling is a criminal offence, and town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Byzant's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.
Byzant is ranked 279,098th in the world and 6,596th in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 6.77 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
