Location: The Fascist Union

Overview • Factbook • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Fascist Union of Aporentia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Duce Wendo Cassolini with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.933 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Daron. The average income tax rate is 72%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Woodchip Exports.

Business is adjusting to new gender equality policies in the workplace, Aporentia has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, and the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Aporentia's national animal is the white cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Aporentian Jol.

Aporentia is ranked 7th in The Fascist Union and 17,983rd in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 3 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
