Location: the Empire of Ruwista

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Dictatorship of Corruptors is a huge, economically powerful nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 720 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."

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Corrupted City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27%. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Major cities are suffering under water rationing, poets and writers are regularly rounded up and shot for entertainment, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, and the commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled Corruptors with a very polite populace. Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Corruptors's national animal is the bull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Pacific Yen.

Corruptors is ranked 2nd in the Empire of Ruwista and 60,063rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 0 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
