The Most Serene Republic of Papal States of America is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 867 million Catholics enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.
The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The New Vatican. The average income tax rate is 52.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Catholic economy, worth 64.2 trillion Dollars a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,045 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Jennifer Government is a bestseller, ritual mummification is making a comeback, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', and weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Papal States of America's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Papal States of America is ranked 78,060th in the world and 1st in Craftys America for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,708.71 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
