The Empire and Her Commonwealth of Kanzlia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Szebdin Olymotzky with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.479 billion Kanzlians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Szbedansk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Kanzlian economy, worth a remarkable 1,558 trillion Gelders a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,832 Gelders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 574,691 per year while the poor average 45,119, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.
Overhead luggage compartments on planes sometimes conceal diminutive intelligence officers, soldiers must key in their passwords every time they want to reload their weapons, stores employing more than 100 employees are required to be at least twenty miles from any competitor, and sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kanzlia's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Loyalty.
Kanzlia is ranked 285,574th in the world and 11,073rd in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 4.85 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
