Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Heraldry Patriarch is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.631 billion Heraldry Patriarchians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Heraldry Patriarchian economy, worth 938 trillion Cards 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. 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 an impressive 166,712 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Hordes of gardening enthusiasts are being banished from cities nationwide, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', newlywed misogynists complain about their wives keeping their maiden names, and Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heraldry Patriarch's national animal is the Kuriboh, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Heraldry Patriarch is ranked 33,740^th in the world and 261^st in Suspicious for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,766.64 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
