The Republic of Hillion FRA is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, avowedly heterosexual populace, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.487 billion Hillion FRAians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 65.4%.
The thriving Hillion FRAian economy, worth 284 trillion euros 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. 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 114,242 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.
Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, wildlife parks are packed with poachers yet increasingly devoid of animals, all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, and 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hillion FRA's national animal is the rooster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Hillion FRA is ranked 61,942nd in the world and 338th in Aerospace for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 65.37 Effective Tax Rate.
