Nation/Communist Republic of Daein

The Holy Empire of Communist Republic of Daein is a huge, economically powerful nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 717 million Daein are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nevassa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Citizens must pay to enjoy Communist Republic of Daein's pristine beaches, breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace, families are only permitted to have one child, and convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes. Crime is pervasive. Communist Republic of Daein's national animal is the human, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the gold.
