“Freedom!”

The Maritian Lucidarchy of Revolvisia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Kathrin Marlius with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.726 billion 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, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Defence and Education are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krystania. The average income tax rate is 100%. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

The fire protection service is wholly government-funded, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, criminals are thrown to the Forum Lurkers to repay their debt to society, and the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Revolvisia's national animal is the Forum Lurker, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Avatism, and its currency is the Post.

Revolvisia is ranked 28th in the region and 47,107th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
