The Federation of The Holy Crusade is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its aversion to nipples, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 431 million Gentiles 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Benedictus. The average income tax rate is 62.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Gentile economy, worth 38.2 trillion Scudoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,651 Scudoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', oddly simian-looking religious thugs beat up anyone who suggests humans are related to monkeys, what citizens give with one hand they take away with the other, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Holy Crusade's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Holy Crusade is ranked 40,853rd in the world and 1,374th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 75 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
