The Kingdom of Taiping is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning dragon population. The hard-working, devout population of 708 million Taipings have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order and Defense are also considered important, while Industry is ignored. The average income tax rate is 23.2%.
The Taiping economy, worth 29.4 trillion shengbaos a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 41,459 shengbaos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taiping's national animal is the dragon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Taiping is ranked 256,728th in the world and 120th in Atlanticana for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -3.16 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
