The Empire of Austro-Hungarian Slavia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Kaiser Karl I with an even hand, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.408 billion Danubians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vienna. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.9%.
The powerhouse Danubian economy, worth 461 trillion Kroner a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 85,337 Kroner, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 379,763 per year while the poor average 11,935, a ratio of 31.8 to 1.
The constant playing of Merry Birthday on Danubian radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Austro-Hungarian Slavia's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.
Austro-Hungarian Slavia is ranked 44,183rd in the world and 19th in Callista for Most Cultured, scoring 73 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
