The Republic of Consul164 is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 277 million Consul164ians 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 Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 23.4%.

The Consul164ian economy, worth 16.1 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,107 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

In the mighty jungle the lion once again sleeps tonight, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, lending money has become a major liability, and code enforcement officers circle wealthy Consul164ians like vultures. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Consul164's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Consul164 is ranked 134,343^rd in the world and 100^th in Lower Llobregat for Highest Average Incomes, with 58,107.97 Standard Monetary Units.
