The Death-Worshipping Nation of Disgracia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Grim Reaper with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, triple-decker prams, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.185 billion Disgracians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Education and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Killia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Disgracian economy, worth a remarkable 4,018 trillion sufferings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 490,915 sufferings, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,592,672 per year while the poor average 4,485, a ratio of 1,023 to 1.
Birdsong in the mountains has to be loud enough to drown out nearby jackhammers, the government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake", people are always able to look each other in the eye, and the only place where one can see the Disgracian cherry tree is in a museum. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Disgracia's national animal is the skullbeast, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is death-worship.
Disgracia is ranked 295,203rd in the world and 1st in Disgracia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
