The Grand Republic of Versail is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Commandant Drummond with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, strictly enforced bedtime, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.754 billion Versais are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oxsana. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Versailian economy, worth an astonishing 13,070 trillion Rubles 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an amazing 488,545 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Versail's Medieval Faire is renowned as one of the best in the region, many friends and relatives of Commandant Drummond have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, the Hanging Gardens account for half of Oxsana's water use, and criminals are thrown to the Brown Bears to repay their debt to society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Versail's national animal is the Brown Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodox Christian.
Versail is ranked 443rd in the world and 14th in Osiris for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 102.89 Effective Tax Rate.
