The Kingdom of The Spanish Coast is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Ruiz IV with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.436 billion Costanians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madrid. The average income tax rate is 17.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Costanian economy, worth 677 trillion Costanian Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 152,654 Costanian Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
All streets are privately owned toll roads, war criminals are given full state funerals, a stitch in time could see you serving nine, and musicians are often arrested for saying "oh my God". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Spanish Coast's national animal is the Cougar and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.
The Spanish Coast is ranked 113,203rd in the world and 1st in The Continental Confederation for Most Stationary, with 348.02792309532 days.
