The Never Ending Astrid Larp of The Order of the Knights Templar is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Vivian James with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.542 billion Order of the Knights Templarians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jerusalem. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Order of the Knights Templarian economy, worth 327 trillion gold coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 128,742 gold coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, tabloids coo over Vivian James's expected child, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime is totally unknown. The Order of the Knights Templar's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.
The Order of the Knights Templar is ranked 230,696th in the world and 7th in Astrid for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
