The Sekhmet Legionnaire of Cretanja Garrison 6 is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by the Pharaoh with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.785 billion Cretanjans 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 large, moralistic government prioritizes Administration, although Defense, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Law & Order and Public Transport receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osiris. The average income tax rate is 37.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Cretanjan economy, worth 311 trillion Scarabs 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, highly specialized black market in Retail, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, 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 65,078 Scarabs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
The new Owl Supremacy Party is faring well in the polls, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, and military chaplains grow frustrated with their long commutes. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cretanja Garrison 6's national animal is the Owl and its national religion is Kemeticism.
Cretanja Garrison 6 is ranked 291,110th in the world and 8,294th in Suspicious for Lowest Crime Rates, with 23.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
