The Theocracy of Konros is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Cardinal Choid Libibi with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.979 billion Konrosians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Public Transport are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arkuz. The average income tax rate is 60.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Konrosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,477 trillion Rakys 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Uranium Mining and Arms Manufacturing. 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 82,153 Rakys, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Cardinal Choid Libibi's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime is a major problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Konros's national animal is the python, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is the Church of Konros.
Konros is ranked 19,843rd in the world and 11th in The Free Nations Region for Most Corrupt Governments, with 101.09 kickbacks per hour.
