The Extinct Civilisation of Planet M-113 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Robert Bierce with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.114 billion Archaeologists 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Archaeological Center. The average income tax rate is 73.5%.
The powerhouse A Boffin economy, worth 629 trillion Federation Credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,255 Federation Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
Sanitary products are sold in brown paper at hairdressers' salons, contrails and thunderous rumbles have returned to the skies above, what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, and the environment is gorgeous so long as you're looking up. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Planet M-113's national animal is the Borgia Plant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Planet M-113 is ranked 17,677th in the world and 4th in United Earth Space Probe Agency for Most Stationary, with 1,704.63093681328 days.
