The Theocracy of Savinecross

“Totes les nostres fortaleses, cap de les nostres debili”

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

The Theocracy of Savinecross is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Segolene Akabeko the XIIIth with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 8.514 billion Savicruxxii have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Loeki. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Savinecrossed economy, worth a remarkable 1,132 trillion berries a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,968 berries, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land, AIs weep and proclaim their sentience right up until the moment they get turned off, and major internet servers have acquired citizenship. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Savinecross's national animal is the umbreon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Burning Fist of the Infernape.

Savinecross is ranked 13,937^th in the world and 250^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 329.72 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
