The Republic of High Value Cards IV is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-working population of 9.058 billion High Value Cards IVians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 63.6%.
The frighteningly efficient High Value Cards IVian economy, worth 892 trillion Pizzas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 98,529 Pizzas, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.
Homeless people are periodically found dead upon altars to assorted deities, High Value Cards IVian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. High Value Cards IV's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
High Value Cards IV is ranked 191,911th in the world and 4,735th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 58.59210138992 days.
