Theocretes

Theocretes is the advisor of Krypton Nova.

The Neo Dictatorship of Theocretes is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Theocretes Nick with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.312 billion Theocritians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lotus. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Theocretesian economy, worth 166 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 126,665 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Theocretesian Liberator", the arms industry has been shut down in a surge of pacifism, and the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Theocretes's national animal is the Robin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
