The Victors

Population140 million

The Democratic Republic of The Victors is a very large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, triple-decker prams, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 140 million Victorsians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.5%.

The sizeable but inefficient Victorsian economy, worth 6.35 trillion bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,391 bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, the nation's leading climatologists are investigating animal flatulence in efforts to reduce methane emissions, and park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Victors's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Victors is ranked 202,229th in the world and 3,457th in The East Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 45,391.57 Standard Monetary Units.
