The Burgeois Crowned Republic of The New True Cross is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, anti-smoking policies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 21.817 billion Burgoignacs enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The large, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vilauristre. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient New True Crossian economy, worth a remarkable 2,556 trillion Imperial Thalers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,189 Imperial Thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
