Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Cast Resurrect Magicians of Pope Hope is a gargantuan, devout nation, ruled by High Queen Pope Hope IV with a fair hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 19.64 billion 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 Education, the Environment, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pope Hope City. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, Pope Hope has designated Pope Hope City as its capital city, politicians are to be found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pope Hope's national animal is the mourning dove, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the host.

Pope Hope is ranked 49th in Nasicournia and 101,325th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -74 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
