The Republic of Gates of Morning is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 1.434 billion Gates of Morningians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 44.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Gates of Morningian economy, worth 13.5 trillion rubledollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,444 rubledollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gates of Morning's national animal is the hawk.
Gates of Morning is ranked 175,929th in the world and 5,077th in Suspicious for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 104.41 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
