The Republic of The Great Congress is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 12.212 billion Great Congressians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Education, although Administration, Environment, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Orion. The average income tax rate is 14.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Great Congressian economy, worth a remarkable 1,524 trillion Tehrs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,827 Tehrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive, the nation was recently voted as the most stylish in Christmas, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, and crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Great Congress's national animal is the Mantis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Great Congress is ranked 21,613th in the world and 26th in Christmas for Most Stationary, with 1,542.7591168002 days.
