Nation



The Kingdom of Christainville is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by King Joshua I with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, devout population of 12.759 billion Christainvilleans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carlton. The average income tax rate is 21.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Christainvillean economy, worth 853 trillion chrisons a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 66,890 chrisons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, there are no bananas today in Christainville, vacationers and business travelers are often warned that they may lose the right to vote if they spend too much time overseas, and careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Christainville's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is christianity.
