Curative Agent 19

The Republic of Curative Agent 19 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 1.144 billion Curative Agent 19ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 39.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Curative Agent 19ian economy, worth 49.5 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 43,234 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing, the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, and Leader's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Curative Agent 19's national animal is the Trout.

Curative Agent 19 is ranked 230,525th in the world and 322nd in Blue Chevron for Most Patriotic, with 6 flags saluted per person per day.
