The Democratic Republic of Espiritual is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Mestre da Iluminação with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 961 million Espiritualians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sagrada Espiritual. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Espiritualian economy, worth 123 trillion Carmas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,106 Carmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Drones are unable to lift the weight of their accompanying paperwork, ratings for schools' curricula range from 'Pure as the Driven Snow' to 'Late Night TV', citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, and the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Espiritual's national animal is the Pomba, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Espiritual is ranked 41,835th in the world and 1,007th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
