| abstract
| - The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thebes. The average income tax rate is 26.9%, but much higher for the wealthy. The Osirisian economy, worth 738 trillion golds a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Uranium Mining. 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 74,524 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest. The welfare administration's new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, the nation refuses to provide international aid, and many of the country's largest dumps can be seen from space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Osiris's national animal is the Bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is a major religion.
