The Holy Empire of Don Juan the Red is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, ritual sacrifices, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, devout population of 19.266 billion Don Juan the Redians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Don Juan the Redian economy, worth a remarkable 1,857 trillion loves a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,392 loves, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Students abandon classrooms for online education, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, and internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Don Juan the Red's national animal is the viper.
Don Juan the Red is ranked 123,449th in the world and 2nd in Western Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 535.79 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
