The Holy Empire of Nana Mouskouri is a massive, devout nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.946 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 60%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Soda Sales.

Voting is voluntary. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Nana Mouskouri's national animal is the bird, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the song.

Nana Mouskouri is ranked 3rd in Sev Space and 52,940th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 0 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
