The Armed Republic of 3rd CULSONIA is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Prefect Staler with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.562 billion 3rd CULSONIAians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Culsonitople. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.7%.
The frighteningly efficient 3rd CULSONIAian economy, worth 562 trillion Lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 157,918 Lire, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,095,927 per year while the poor average 7,961, a ratio of 137 to 1.
A lot of number one hits are straight cover versions, hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, wandering 3rd CULSONIAians are known for their one-track minds, and senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 3rd CULSONIA's national animal is the Chimera, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Stalerism.
3rd CULSONIA is ranked 3,887th in the world and 54th in the Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,217.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
