The Byzantine Empire of Constantinolia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Andronikos VI with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 14.973 billion Byzantines have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constantinople. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Byzantine economy, worth a remarkable 3,415 trillion hyperpyrons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 228,092 hyperpyrons, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.
Late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards, the government says that Possession is nine-tenths of the Lore, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, and the government is funneling billions into Cape Constantinolia following the shuttle crash. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Constantinolia's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Catholicism.
Constantinolia is ranked 293,587th in the world and 10,359th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 1.92779737732 days.
