The Holy Empire of The Greenman is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, devout population of 198 million Greenmanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Greenmanian economy, worth 4.00 trillion Greenman dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 20,194 Greenman dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Leader's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, tower block residents are each held responsible for four square inches of front lawn, it's never "just a game" with Greenmanian sports fans, and the line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Greenman's national animal is the Green mantis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Greenman is ranked 100,425th in the world and 357th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 81.89 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
