“In Cohærentia Faucitas”

The Principality of Civitas Technologica is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 740 million are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Effusum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62%. A robust private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Soda Sales and Information Technology.

Charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, Civitas Technologica's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, tax evaders are regularly visited by agents of the Civitas Technologica Blood Tithe, and the fire protection service is wholly government-funded. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Civitas Technologica's national animal is the pigeon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the credit.

Civitas Technologica is ranked 1435th in the region and 25,429th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
