The Incorporated States of Eusgov is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Esugov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, infamous sell-swords, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.183 billion Eusgovians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Vosgue. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Eusgovian economy, worth 760 trillion Singvids a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 238,926 Singvids, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,944,549 per year while the poor average 6,418, a ratio of 302 to 1.
Renaissance frescos are being chiselled off public walls, the government only announces the deaths of its members when it's convenient, wounded veterans can only get prosthetics if they agree to become walking billboards for the arms industry, and the public are free to vote for whomever the government wants in office. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Eusgov's national animal is the Ox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of the Emperor.
Eusgov is ranked 192,208th in the world and 769th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 892.11 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
