The Democratic Republic of Kempasu is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 652 million Kempans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sepia Prefecture. The average income tax rate is 38.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Kempasuan economy, worth 59.8 trillion Bills a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,703 Bills, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
The tinfoil-hat crowd also recommend tinfoil wallets, Leader claims to be the epitome of family values, only adults may purchase violent video games, and a five-year-old and a convicted terrorist can sit alongside one another in jury service. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kempasu's national animal is the DQ, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Kempasu is ranked 43,028th in the world and 3rd in Gestalt for Most Patriotic, with 30.77 flags saluted per person per day.
