The Turkish Social Republic of Kyntosia is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.559 billion Kyntosians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 33.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Kyntosian economy, worth 65.3 trillion Zils 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 41,857 Zils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Drug-related crimes carry the death penalty, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, when flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", and a major religion has been named as Kyntosia's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kyntosia's national animal is the Barn Owl.
Kyntosia is ranked 26,967th in the world and 1,510th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 110.31 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
