The Christian Socialist Republic of Culture of Life is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Gerard Majella with a fair hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 28.377 billion Culture-of-Lifers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Environment, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Defense isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Jerusalem. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Culture-of-Life economy, worth a remarkable 3,826 trillion vitas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 134,839 vitas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, parking lots are littered with coffee cups and doughnut crumbs, only the brainiest citizens become academics, and ministers browse Alright! magazine for fashion tips. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Culture of Life's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Culture of Life is ranked 2,217^th in the world and 2^nd in Right to Life for Lowest Crime Rates, with 140.96 law-abiding acts per hour.
