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

The Republic of Knights Templar I is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.048 billion Knights Templar Iians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 40.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Knights Templar Iian economy, worth 30.6 trillion golds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,173 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Uploading purple prose to social media earns a place on a government watchlist, grazing lands are filled with cattle wearing odd-looking anti-pollution devices, trying to toast marshmallows in an electric fireplace just isn't the same, and edutainment video games are taking Knights Templar I's students to the next level. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Knights Templar I's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Knights Templar I is ranked 123,496^th in the world and 2^nd in Roncal for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
