The Federation of Proverbial Homeland is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26 million Homelanders 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 minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.
The strong Proverbial Homelandian economy, worth 1.83 trillion chits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 70,525 chits, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.
Military spending is on the increase, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, and corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Proverbial Homeland's national animal is the hawk.
Proverbial Homeland is ranked 15,027th in the world and 2nd in Free Orbit for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 7,863.54 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
