The Republic of Consul176 is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its closed borders, barren, inhospitable landscape, and compulsory gun ownership. The quiet, industrious population of 291 million Consul176ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 38.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Consul176ian economy, worth 18.7 trillion florins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,211 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, and cold medicines curiously become cheaper when government officials sneeze. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Consul176's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Consul176 is ranked 287,427^th in the world and 170^th in Lower Llobregat for Largest Populations, with 291 million capita.
