Nation/Chreeeeeees

The United Systems of Chreeeeeees is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Chancellor Chreees with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.503 billion Chreeeeeeesians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Chreeeeeees. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Chreeeeeeesian economy, worth 240 trillion Chreeesian Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 159,900 Chreeesian Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 451,364 per year while the poor average 45,344, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chreeeeeees's national animal is the Lesser Spotted Common space Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
