The Armed Republic of True Spain is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Rodolfo de Borbon with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 11.774 billion True Spaniards are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madrid. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient True Spaniard economy, worth a remarkable 3,020 trillion pesetas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an amazing 256,521 pesetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-peseta mansions, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, and a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. True Spain's national animal is the bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.
True Spain is ranked 199th in the world and 1st in Anteria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 249.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
