The Empire of New Warpath is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Aryaraj with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.175 billion New Warpathians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dark Legion. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant New Warpathian economy, worth 22.4 trillion Warpies 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. 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 19,055 Warpies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Demolition derbies mostly consist of bicycles crashing into each other, oddly simian-looking religious thugs beat up anyone who suggests humans are related to monkeys, genetic screening weeds out citizens whose legs don't bend easily at the knee, and tax avoidance is a serious affair. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Warpath's national animal is the Dragons, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Aryaism.
New Warpath is ranked 288,929th in the world and 3,080th in the West Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 514.56 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
