The Republic of 66SQN is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.5 billion 66SQNians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse 66SQNian economy, worth 460 trillion bitcoins 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 102,300 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
All technology must be personally blessed by religious officials before purchase, the nation's youth voluntarily goes to bed early out of sheer tiredness from their working days, small shoes often wash up on the beach, and lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 66SQN's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
66SQN is ranked 104,271st in the world and 4,412th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 80.36 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
