La Passionee

The Rogue Nation of La Passionee is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 757 million La Passioneeans 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 tiny, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Education are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The thriving La Passioneean economy, worth 56.2 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 74,210 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Metal detectors at school gates make sure that teenagers are carrying at least one sidearm, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, every microwave and toaster is being disassembled and probed by inspectors, and La Passionee successfully hosted the Osiris Olympics. Crime is a problem. La Passionee's national animal is the Italian Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

La Passionee is ranked 108,991st in the world and 6,159th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,059.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
