The Borderlands of Chornobyl anomaly-zone Monolith is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 16 million Sectants 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 enormous, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Sectant economy, worth 689 billion Soviet rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,064 Soviet rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, and teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chornobyl anomaly-zone Monolith's national animal is the Snork.
