The People's Republic of Empordia is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.188 billion Empordians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Empordian economy, worth 83.8 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 70,556 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A driving license is obtained not by passing a test but by passing a brown envelope, the government enforces a policy of 'from each according to their ability, to each according to the available budget', it is now illegal for teens to view any sites except Club Kitten and My Little Donkey, and children have only the most basic of education. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empordia's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Empordia is ranked 63,270th in the world and 14th in Two for Most Extreme, scoring 28.66 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
