The Celestial Sphere of Heavensrealm is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.731 billion Celestials 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heavensthrone. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83.1%.
The strong Celestial economy, worth 368 trillion indulgences 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 77,843 indulgences, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.
Fortified nursing homes are wracked with daily skirmishes, the strong are acquitted and the weak are trampled in trial by a cherub, heirs who take too long in the bathroom are declared missing and presumed dead, and remote-control hang-gliding scarecrows patrol the skies to keep songbirds from leaving the nation's borders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heavensrealm's national animal is the cherub, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Heavensrealm is ranked 82,621st in the world and 1,219th in The East Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 77,843.17 Standard Monetary Units.
