The Republic of Consul167 is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 279 million Consul167ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 39.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Consul167ian economy, worth 11.6 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,479 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, the police double as repo men, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, and legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Consul167's national animal is the kangaroo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Consul167 is ranked 241,896^th in the world and 182^nd in Lower Llobregat for Highest Average Incomes, with 41,479.07 Standard Monetary Units.
