The People's Republic of High State is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.817 billion High Stateans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.9%.

The High Statean economy, worth 245 trillion baht a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 50,972 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Snitches get riches, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, and the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. High State's national animal is the cow.

High State is ranked 189,027^th in the world and 1^st in Group of Seven for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 22.92 Effective Tax Rate.
