The Republic of Fictions is a massive, devout nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.301 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fictions City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.
Construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, penurious citizens die from easily remedied ailments because they aren't 'taking enough initiative', and military spending is on the increase. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fictions's national animal is the Desert Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Ankh.
Fictions is ranked 33rd in the region and 48,904th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
