The Allied States of Cavern of Kings

“We need capitalism”

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

The Allied States of Cavern of Kings is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, compulsory military service, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 4.999 billion Kings are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monarchropolis. The average income tax rate is 47.9%.

The strong Monarchist economy, worth 511 trillion ducats 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 102,339 ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The deceased are buried mostly to hide them from state-sanctioned corpse-collectors, gun regulations are so strict even staple guns and hot glue guns are illegal, school uniforms are compulsory, and adultery has been made a capital offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cavern of Kings's national animal is the queen, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cavern of Kings is ranked 323,396^th in the world and 5,158^th in The East Pacific for Most Pacifist, with 5.04 cheeks turned per day.
