The Republic of Explorie is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The First Watcher with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.429 billion Exploreans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Watchtower. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Explorean economy, worth 509 trillion Lighters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 148,585 Lighters, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
