The Holy Empire of Conciliation is a tiny, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 12 million Conciliationians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, with Defense, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The very strong Conciliationian economy, worth 840 billion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 70,079 Euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 240,427 per year while the poor average 14,992, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, the government is slowly introducing social welfare programs, and the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Conciliation's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Conciliation is ranked 239,673^rd in the world and 79^th in KAISERREICH for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 41.43 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
