The Revolutionary Imperium of Claibornia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Stevan von Habsburg with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.998 billion Claibornians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novum Aurelianensis. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Claibornian economy, worth 661 trillion Claibornian Francs 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 220,539 Claibornian Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, cases of disease among the civilian population dwindle as civilian population dwindles, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, and the media have begun calling the government treasury "Stevan von Habsburg's stash". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Claibornia's national animal is the Haynesville Butterfly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Evanist Yodlism.
Claibornia is ranked 82,173rd in the world and 164th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Income Equality, scoring 46.92 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
