The Reinforcement of Healers is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 4.851 billion Healersians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.
The strong Healersian economy, worth 249 trillion golden threads a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 51,388 golden threads, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 331,201 per year while the poor average 3,221, a ratio of 102 to 1.
Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Healers's national animal is the black griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Healers is ranked 268,299th in the world and 7th in Covenant for Safest, scoring 8.45 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
