Yi Sun Shin

The Republic of Yi Sun Shin is a massive, safe nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 2.535 billion Yi Sun Shinians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 35.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Yi Sun Shinian economy, worth 132 trillion bitcoins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,122 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Getting an autograph has become harder than ever, returning tourists and businessmen are detained without trial if they belong to the "wrong" religion, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, and scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yi Sun Shin's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yi Sun Shin is ranked 104,294th in the world and 173rd in Remembrance for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
