The Colony of 73SQN is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.776 billion Ethnonians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.5%.
The powerhouse 73SQNian economy, worth 495 trillion francs a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 85,807 francs, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.
People often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, news headlines usually include p-values, and dissidents are commonly labelled as baby-killers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 73SQN's national animal is the Talbot Hound, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
73SQN is ranked 109,217th in the world and 4,450th in Balder for Largest Populations, with 5.78 billion capita.
