State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 221,965 Republikmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Repurposed warships fire swag at company promotional events, the government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots, online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for Republik Hintonia, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations.
