The Mad Monarch's Fleets of The Armada of Refuge is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Monarch with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, sprawling nuclear power plants, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 10.915 billion Remnants have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 1st Grand Golden Fleet. The average income tax rate is 54.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Remnant economy, worth a remarkable 2,131 trillion Retals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 195,321 Retals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
At least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to The Monarch's wardrobe, the Laws of War require "enthusiastic consent" (The Armada of Refuge has found 3 easter eggs), wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", and arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Armada of Refuge's national animal is the Giant Moth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is non-existent.
The Armada of Refuge is ranked 11,803rd in the world and 16th in Eientei Gensokyo for Lowest Crime Rates, with 98.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
