“Travail liberté fraternité”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Federal Republic of Ad vitam eternam is a huge, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 562 million Ad vitam eternamians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 19.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ad vitam eternamian economy, worth 32.2 trillion Gingers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,220 Gingers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, devotion to God is only skin-deep, life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, and all facts are created equal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ad vitam eternam's national animal is the épervier, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ad vitam eternam is ranked 227,585^th in the world and 958^th in Europeia for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 440.73 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
