The Sekhmet Legionnaire of Cretanja Garrison 46 is a massive, safe nation, ruled by the Pharaoh with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 4.461 billion Cretanjans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osiris. The average income tax rate is 51.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Cretanjan economy, worth 203 trillion Crets 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 45,548 Crets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens select which government department gets their income tax Crets each year, the police have nothing to do with the increasing number of 'disappeared', things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, and when the air force says "Black Hawk Down" they mean the feathers of the Cretanjan dark-plume goshawk. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cretanja Garrison 46's national animal is the Scarab, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Kemeticism.
Cretanja Garrison 46 is ranked 74,935th in the world and 2,727th in Suspicious for Most Stationary, with 628.71114623572 days.
