The hard-working, democratic population of 175 million Currenians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.
The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.
The very strong Currenian economy, worth 12.2 trillion Currents a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 69,508 Currents, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 229,634 per year while the poor average 15,734, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.
