The Republic of Konstantinium is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 137 million Konstinians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The powerhouse Konstantiniumian economy, worth 13.3 trillion Konstels a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is 96,864 Konstels, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 467,324 per year while the poor average 11,672, a ratio of 40.0 to 1.

Feeling like a winner comes at a price, the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts, and voters are one of the nation's top imports. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Konstantinium's national animal is the Sperm Whale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Konstantinium is ranked 234,447^th in the world and 83^rd in Sancturia for Nicest Citizens, with 11.33 average smiles per day.
