Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Federal Republic of Immortal Space is a huge, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 714 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cetdium. The average income tax rate is 63%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing industries.

All mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, the nation is famous for having one of the world's largest Wandering Albatross hunting institutions, citizens must pay to enjoy Immortal Space's pristine beaches, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Immortal Space's national animal is the Wandering Albatross, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Kralecium.

Immortal Space is ranked 852nd in the West Pacific and 23,443rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
