Curative Agent 178

The Republic of Curative Agent 178 is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory gun ownership. The quiet, industrious population of 1.103 billion Curative Agent 178ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 33.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Curative Agent 178ian economy, worth 36.8 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,363 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', surveillance cameras are banned, and metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Curative Agent 178's national animal is the Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Curative Agent 178 is ranked 230,227th in the world and 346th in Blue Chevron for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 991.29 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
