The Republic of Crown 43 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.048 billion Crown 43ians 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 tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 8.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Crown 43ian economy, worth 424 trillion salts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,183 salts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, thrift shops are closing their doors, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, and families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Crown 43's national animal is the llama, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Crown 43 is ranked 328,174th in the world and 15,582nd in Osiris for Smartest Citizens, with 2.64 quips per hour.
