The Republic of Constie is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 20.757 billion Constieans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 65.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but stagnant Constiean economy, worth 216 trillion Consties a year, is highly specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 10,429 Consties, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, voting is voluntary, and military spending is on the increase. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Constie's national animal is the Crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Constie is ranked 142,021st in the world and 289th in Europeia for Most Stationary, with 195.90009684608 days.
