The Holy Empire of Christ Town is a small, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 36 million Christ Townians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The fragile Christ Townian economy, worth 822 billion ChristBuxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 22,857 ChristBuxes , and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The right to a fair trial was recently abolished for reasons of convenience, traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, murderers facing life in prison listen to long sermons on positive thinking, and the nation's apology for those it has executed in the last year has come a little late for some. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Christ Town's national animal is the Lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Christ Town is ranked 283,616th in the world and 32nd in The Anduavas for Most Secular, with 9.25 Atheism Rate.
