The Republic of Houdini is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning lion population. The hard-working population of 2.797 billion Houdinians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.6%.
The Houdinian economy, worth 111 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 39,975 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Houdini's national animal is the lion.
Houdini is ranked 180,943rd in the world and 146th in Resuscitation for Most Patriotic, with 7.09 flags saluted per person per day.
