Road to Celestia

The Colony of Road to Celestia is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, humorless population of 5.646 billion Road to Celestians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Road to Celestian economy, worth 637 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,904 credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 351,317 per year while the poor average 27,898, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

Ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, a newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Road to Celestian as 'your finger, you fool', a tax exemption has created a new hunger for octogenarian millionaires dating women 60 years their younger, and access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Road to Celestia's national animal is the lost dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Road to Celestia is ranked 257,935th in the world and 17th in Geimugyoukai for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 43.47 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
