The Republic of Great Bliss is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sovereign with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.358 billion Great Blissians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mesopotamia. The average income tax rate is 57.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Great Blissian economy, worth a remarkable 1,254 trillion gold coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 121,152 gold coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.
Environmental legislation occurs cyclically, tower block residents are each held responsible for four square inches of front lawn, corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, and the arms industry is strictly regulated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Bliss's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Melchizedek.
Great Bliss is ranked 16,558th in the world and 6th in Ancient for Most Stationary, with 1,734.84665358632 days.
