Nation/Conwayland

The Galactic Empire of Conwayland is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Chonners MLXIX with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.533 billion Conwaynians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Wolf's Lair. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Conwaynian economy, worth 276 trillion First Born Children a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 180,213 First Born Children, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,255,861 per year while the poor average 8,965, a ratio of 140 to 1.

The government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, prisons are crowded with possible terrorist suspects, Homework populations thrive as dogs are slaughtered in the millions, and frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Conwayland's national animal is the Homework, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Jaubism.
