The Republica Dictatura of Ressar is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by HM Lluïsa De La Faieta with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.584 billion Ressarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miranou. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ressarian economy, worth 801 trillion Ras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 143,556 Ras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, nobody expected the fruit inquisition, a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons, and half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ressar's national animal is the hermit crab, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Nerity.
Ressar is ranked 77,489th in the world and 3,605th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 47,086.54 Standard Monetary Units.
