The Republic of Remus III is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 4.411 billion Remus IIIians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Remus IIIian economy, worth 212 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 48,208 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Remus III successfully hosted the Balder Olympics, patriots insist that size does matter, employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, and Remus III has designated Remus III City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Remus III's national animal is the cobra.
Remus III is ranked 51,782nd in the world and 2,481st in Balder for Safest, scoring 102.42 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
