“Legionnaires Onward!”

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

The Rogue Nation of Legionnaries XXV is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 4.281 billion Legionnarys are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Legionnaries XXVian economy, worth 162 trillion Doleres a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 37,906 Doleres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, eight-year-olds with lemonade stands have been known to be locked up on charges of embezzlement, and Bald Eagles with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Legionnaries XXV's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Legionnaries XXV is ranked 90,525^th in the world and 4,717^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
