The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 39.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,583 Currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Appendix transplant figures have recently doubled, sports journals are full of uplifting puff-pieces on professional boxers, foreign nationals are widely distrusted, and students at universities think exercise bikes are pieces of abstract art.

Christian Brothers's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
