The Watchfires of Red Death-3 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 30.009 billion Red Death-3ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 19.5%.

The very strong Red Death-3ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,303 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,448 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Museums have more touchscreens on display than artifacts, every microwave and toaster is being disassembled and probed by inspectors, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, and gun ownership is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Red Death-3's national animal is the Death's-head Hawkmoth, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Red Death-3 is ranked 145,657^th in the world and 1^st in Che Guevara for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 410.46 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
