The Kingdom of SPORTA is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 401 million Sportans 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, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 24.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Sportan economy, worth 18.9 trillion Dorians a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 47,236 Dorians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, a dictator has seized power and outlawed elections, the country is preparing for war, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. SPORTA's national animal is the lion.
SPORTA is ranked 164,716th in the world and 35th in The TWR and NE Puppet Depot for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 181.65 Tourists Per Hour.
