The Hill Republic

Population1.129 billion

The United States of The Hill Republic is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.129 billion Hill Republicians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 35.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hill Republician economy, worth 82.4 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,025 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Reports of arson have doubled since the introduction of a privatised fire protection service, you're only as old as you feel, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, and kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Hill Republic's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Hill Republic is ranked 74,670th in the world and 3rd in Warzone Airspace for Most Secular, with 18.53 Atheism Rate.
