The Rogue Nation of Legionnary XVI

“Prosperity and Dictatorship”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Rogue Nation of Legionnary XVI is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 4.846 billion Legionnary XVIians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 50.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Legionnary XVIian economy, worth 45.3 trillion Dolleuros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,354 Dolleuros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is voluntary, the right to free speech is being drastically curtailed, euthanasia is legal, and citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Legionnary XVI's national animal is the Bald Eagle.

Legionnary XVI is ranked 285,001^st in the world and 11,114^th in Balder for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 4,667.78 Standard Monetary Units.
