The Holy Empire of Surala is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Empty God-Emperor Talith Yi I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.795 billion Suralans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Holy City of Il-Sura. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Suralan economy, worth a remarkable 7,057 trillion Sus a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 653,781 Sus, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,528,206 per year while the poor average 116,010, a ratio of 21.8 to 1.
Fifty years of pension funds can disappear in half a second, medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, exported livestock are wined and dined before they are flat ironed, and formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Surala's national animal is the Suralan Rock Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Talithism.
Surala is ranked 177,865th in the world and 23rd in Imperial World Nations for Most Stationary, with 82.99385660612 days.
