The Kingdom of Regalian is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by 3 Penguins in a trenchcoat with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 809 million Regalianians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Big City. The average income tax rate is 58.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Regalianian economy, worth 76.4 trillion big bucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 94,381 big bucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', trains and passengers alike are often late, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', and the government pours millions of big bucks into rehabilitation programs annually. Crime is totally unknown. Regalian's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Regalian is ranked 304,494th in the world and 5th in The Real Christmas for Most Patriotic, with 0.63 flags saluted per person per day.
