The Republic of Regione Civium is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Azazel with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.034 billion Civiumians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The large, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Civitate Divina. The average income tax rate is 55.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Civiumian economy, worth 156 trillion Bloods a year, is dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 76,869 Bloods, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
The government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Regione Civium's national animal is the Snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Pascalian.
Regione Civium is ranked 142,229th in the world and 6,708th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.67 law-abiding acts per hour.
