The Kingdom of Southtica is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.506 billion Southticans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, although Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.
The very strong Southtican economy, worth 577 trillion Southlands a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 67,904 Southlands , but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 213,277 per year while the poor average 16,553, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.
Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Southtica's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Southtica is ranked 78,131st in the world and 64th in matheo for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,886.12 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
