The Republic of Ecclesia the Virtuous is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.88 billion Ecclesia the Virtuousians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 60.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ecclesia the Virtuousian economy, worth 473 trillion dollars 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 121,911 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Leader's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, citizens are constantly disappointed to find their nuisance neighbours are still alive, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, and singing in public is only allowed if you are singing the praise of the Motherland. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ecclesia the Virtuous's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Ecclesia the Virtuous is ranked 31,404th in the world and 281st in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,517.62 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
