The Most Serene Republic of Spiritually is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The democratic, devout population of 162 million Spirituallyians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, although Welfare, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Spirituallyian economy, worth 4.87 trillion reverences a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,072 reverences, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence, Spiritually City's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, and the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spiritually's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Spiritually is ranked 147,289th in the world and 4th in The Cobra for Most Patriotic, with 12.08 flags saluted per person per day.
