The Armed Republic of War Council is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 4.65 billion War Councilians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The tiny, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.
The strong War Councilian economy, worth 202 trillion golden threads a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 43,647 golden threads, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 281,312 per year while the poor average 2,736, a ratio of 102 to 1.
Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. War Council's national animal is the black griffin, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
War Council is ranked 126,484th in the world and 10th in The Connector for Most Stationary, with 270.6867364826 days.
