The Republic of Naoptopleita is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.887 billion Naoptopleitans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 81.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Naoptopleitan economy, worth 908 trillion Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 131,905 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
The legislature keeps promising "more study" of corruption allegations against the parliamentary whip system, children as young as eight can be found working in factories, taking a walk on the wild side is punishable by death, and corporate executives continue to enjoy generous tax benefits while the public is taxed to the hilt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Naoptopleita's national animal is the Scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Naoptopleita is ranked 77,633rd in the world and 101st in Two for Largest Populations, with 6.89 billion capita.
