The Holy Empire of The Wealth Gap is a mid-sized, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 90 million Wealth Gapians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 39.1%.

The powerhouse Wealth Gapian economy, worth 6.97 trillion Holynesses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 77,465 Holynesses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, recorded music can be rented but not bought from record companies, the government has become increasingly militant, and private digital records now come with a convenient "download" button. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Wealth Gap's national animal is the Peacock, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Wealth Gap is ranked 70,393^rd in the world and 2^nd in Ray Rice Region for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,916.48 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
