Location: Eastern Roman Empire

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Kingdom of Rex Bravus is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.935 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.

The large government concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Education and Defence are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 27%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

The armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, equuss are considered a delicacy, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Rex Bravus's radio stations. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rex Bravus's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the drachma.

Rex Bravus is ranked 187th in Eastern Roman Empire and 50,429th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
