Agustine

Population193 million

The Colony of Agustine is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 193 million Agustineans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 39.0%.

The Agustinean economy, worth 10.6 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,042 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

There's no escape from the rule of law... or police brutality, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, and all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Agustine's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Agustine is ranked 107,091st in the world and 81st in Corsair for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 44.28 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
