The Celestial Empire of Bathor is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Bojin with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 19.336 billion Han-Bathorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Iacon. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Bathorian economy, worth a remarkable 7,111 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 367,807 Imperial Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.
Edutainment video games are taking Bathor's students to the next level, Emperor Bojin's handshakes with opposition leaders usually lead to thumb wars, all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, and the government keeps its thumb on the scales of justice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bathor's national animal is the Genesis Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is New Chalcedonian Christianity.
Bathor is ranked 25,437th in the world and 2nd in Singapore for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,921.63 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
