The Interim Government of Bythesas is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President-Regent Augus Evermerian with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, digital currency, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.44 billion Bythesasians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sperasas. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Bythesasian economy, worth a remarkable 2,669 trillion Provisional Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,775 Provisional Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas", populations of two-headed Steppe Unicorns have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, and the nation is famous for bravely sending wave after wave of its soldiers until the enemy runs out of bullets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bythesas's national animal is the Steppe Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Faith.
Bythesas is ranked 214,631st in the world and 1st in The Asnean Coalition for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 26,638.64 Standard Monetary Units.
