The Republic of Consul89 is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, disturbing lack of elderly people, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 332 million Consul89ians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 16.1%.

The very strong Consul89ian economy, worth 19.7 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. Average income is 59,487 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, scrapyards are filled with Leader's face, heavily-laden pregnant women are told they can manage, and the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Consul89's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Consul89 is ranked 129,639^th in the world and 87^th in Lower Llobregat for Highest Average Incomes, with 59,487.38 Standard Monetary Units.
