Location: The Significantly Badlands

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

The Grim-Resurrection Theocracy of Luftitania is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by the Archpriest of Necropolis with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.751 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Education and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Necropolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Automobile Manufacturing.

The number of children one can have is restricted by law, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Necropolis, the rich are forced to sell their cars to pay for more police to prevent their cars from being stolen, and smoking is banned in public areas. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is pervasive. Luftitania's national animal is the Almighty Dollar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Midnight Necroeschatism, and its currency is the Skunk.

Luftitania is ranked 1st in The Significantly Badlands and 10,129th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 5 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
