The Theocracy of Kristika is a huge, safe nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 677 million 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."
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Defence and Religion & Spirituality are secondary priorities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Uranium Mining.
Healthcare funding has been cut, the government is pursuing a new programme aimed at promoting cultural sophistication, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and eight year-olds with lemonade stands have been known to be locked up on charges of embezzlement. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Kristika's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the sheqel.
Kristika is ranked 1st in the region and 66,550th in the world for Nudest.
