The Republic of Curative Agent 124 is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avant-garde cinema, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed population of 1.09 billion Curative Agent 124ians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 45.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Curative Agent 124ian economy, worth 30.9 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,383 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits, sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Curative Agent 124's national animal is the Trout, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Curative Agent 124 is ranked 111,682nd in the world and 36th in Blue Chevron for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,217.88 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
