The Papal State of The Holy Catholic Church- is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Pope Francis with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.455 billion Catholics are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.
The all-consuming Catholic economy, worth 145 trillion Lire a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Tourism industry. Average income is an impressive 100,298 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
