“Freedom or Death”

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

The Republic of Hellas and Cyprus is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 187 million Hellenes enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 9.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Hellenic economy, worth 12.6 trillion drachmas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 67,356 drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, Hellenic husbands are dead good at fathering kids, all footpaths have tollbooths, and when you fly on Air Hellas and Cyprus you win a seat or you die. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Hellas and Cyprus's national animal is the little owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Hellas and Cyprus is ranked 99,471^st in the world and 3,076^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
