The Republic of Splatter is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.516 billion Splatterians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Splatterian economy, worth 632 trillion Bolts a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,585 Bolts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Sales of fishnet stockings have reached a record high, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Robot, and the nation's mettle is about to be tested. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Splatter's national animal is the Robot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Splatter is ranked 194,894th in the world and 549th in Sunset Shimmer for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 30,365.12 Standard Monetary Units.
