The Colony of Pisces 096 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.893 billion Stargazers are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 11.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Pisces 096ian economy, worth 97.8 trillion Starfleets a year, is highly specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,131 Starfleets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Black tea is only available on the black market, beggars lack pockets for spare change, the beauty of coastal towns is marred only slightly by all the closed-down storefronts, and rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Pisces 096's national animal is the ATAN, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Pisces 096 is ranked 281,969th in the world and 13,384th in Lazarus for Smartest Citizens, with 19.65 quips per hour.
