The Holy Empire of Jungue is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 198 million Jungueans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.6%.
The very strong Junguean economy, worth 11.0 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 55,533 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 178,002 per year while the poor average 13,143, a ratio of 13.5 to 1.
All technology must be personally blessed by religious officials before purchase, many in Jungue are born in the purple, discarded pennies litter the streets, and parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Jungue's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Jungue is ranked 194,431st in the world and 189th in Kantrias for Safest, scoring 45.69 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
