The Kingdom of Fortingania is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.423 billion Fortinganians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.
The minute, moralistic government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, although Defense, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.
The strong Fortinganian economy, worth 147 trillion lire a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 60,911 lire, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.
Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, doves are considered a delicacy, and the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Fortingania's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Fortingania is ranked 341,220th in the world and 63rd in Colonia Apollonis for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 4.78 Effective Tax Rate.
