Daemonkin of Corn

Population29 million

The Kingdom of Daemonkin of Corn is a small, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 29 million Daemonkins are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Daemonkin of Cornian economy, worth 1.32 trillion Skulls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 45,509 Skulls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Concussed Flesh Houndball players cannot remember their lineup position, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, cults that offer eternal life after death to those who follow a self-sacrificing saviour are frowned upon, and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daemonkin of Corn's national animal is the Flesh Hound, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Daemonkin of Corn is ranked 81,285th in the world and 19th in Chaos land for Highest Poor Incomes, with 36,226.14 Standard Monetary Units.
