The Constitutional Monarchy of Gowcester is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 13.434 billion Cesters are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gowcester City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.6%.
The very strong Gowcesterian economy, worth 810 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 60,311 Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.
The recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, divorce is illegal, homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, and Gowcester has designated Gowcester City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gowcester's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Gowcester is ranked 166,001st in the world and 7,492nd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
