The Black Swan Hegemony of Christ Triumphant is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Cadmus Maculatus with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 14.135 billion Black Monks love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goliath Bluffs. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Black Swan economy, worth a remarkable 6,393 trillion cygnets a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 452,308 cygnets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, and photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Cadmus Maculatus's bedroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Christ Triumphant's national animal is the Black Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Temple of Leda.
Christ Triumphant is ranked 8,139th in the world and 1st in The Horde for Most Patriotic, with 68.34 flags saluted per person per day.
