GV14

The Holy Empire of GV14 is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 149 million GV14ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The GV14ian economy, worth 8.63 trillion infants a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 57,915 infants, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, citizens are tied down and forced to watch educational videos on empathy, and children prefer to begin their day with push-ups rather than breakfast. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GV14's national animal is the Bazinga.

GV14 is ranked 71,027th in the world and 8th in One Collective Brain Cell for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,056.36 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
