VeniConstant

The Commonwealth of VeniConstant is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, digital currency, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 1.703 billion VeniConstantians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 57.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient VeniConstantian economy, worth 233 trillion Never Changings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 137,106 Never Changings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, territories have the right to secede if they aren't happy, internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing Leader to cartoon bears, and the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. VeniConstant's national animal is the Always Here, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

VeniConstant is ranked 34,973rd in the world and 2,255th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
