Melanchthon

The Kingdom of Melanchthon is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its smutty television, lack of airports, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 528 million Melanchthonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.7%.

The strong Melanchthonian economy, worth 35.3 trillion Doubloons a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,939 Doubloons, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

The price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, grandiose stage parents insist superyachts and private cinemas are children's basic needs, homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them, and beaches are empty as the shark population multiplies exponentially. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Melanchthon's national animal is the Mother Hen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Melanchthon is ranked 300,046th in the world and 6th in Followers of the Word of God for Safest, scoring 7.46 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
