Curative Agent 23

Population1.133 billion

The Republic of Curative Agent 23 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, compulsory military service, and digital currency. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.133 billion Curative Agent 23ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 34.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Curative Agent 23ian economy, worth 50.6 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 44,624 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Curative Agent 23's national animal is the Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Curative Agent 23 is ranked 109,140th in the world and 26th in Blue Chevron for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,284.34 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
