Ministerial

The Imperial Ministry of Ministerial is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Jorji Costava with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.117 billion Cobrastinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orvech Vonor. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cobrastinian economy, worth 137 trillion UCN Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 123,297 UCN Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students abandon classrooms for online education, children are raised bilingual from an early age, recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, and the new hit series "Ministerial's Got Trauma" has corporate executives fleeing the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ministerial's national animal is the Cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
