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

The Republic of Oldtowne is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its digital currency, national health service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.057 billion Oldtowneans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Environment is also considered important, while Education and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Oldtownean economy, worth a remarkable 2,288 trillion currencies a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 284,022 currencies, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,529,880 per year while the poor average 27,413, a ratio of 55.8 to 1.

The government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events, there is something rotten in the state of Oldtowne, the government has strong opinions about what goes into your bodily orifices, and equality looks curiously unequal. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Oldtowne's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Oldtowne is ranked 15,073^rd in the world and 13^th in Vickenian experiment containment zone for Largest Governments, scoring 32.89 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
