The Empire of MH-XVIII

“Twirling Toward Freedom”

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

The Empire of MH-XVIII is a huge, safe nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, avant-garde cinema, and enforced nudity. The compassionate population of 371 million MH-XVIIIians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 39.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The MH-XVIIIian economy, worth 16.8 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,256 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, and MH-XVIII has designated MH-XVIII City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MH-XVIII's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

MH-XVIII is ranked 129,223^rd in the world and 7^th in Venice for Most Authoritarian, with 805.63 milliStalins.
