The Meritocratical Stratocracy of Motsumoto is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Tanya Degurechaff with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, parental licensing program, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.272 billion Germans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 26.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Motsumotoan economy, worth a remarkable 4,938 trillion Deutsche Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 438,081 Deutsche Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, fraternities are notorious for drunken hooliganism, and the hills are alive with the smell of burning flesh. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Motsumoto's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cult of Iron.
Motsumoto is ranked 1,616th in the world and 63rd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 152.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
