The Free State of Inchi ya Katanga is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Moise Tshombe with an iron fist, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 20.468 billion Inchi ya Katangans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elisabethville. The average income tax rate is 58.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Inchi ya Katangan economy, worth a remarkable 2,950 trillion Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and 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 an impressive 144,132 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, and acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Inchi ya Katanga's national animal is the bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Catholic.
Inchi ya Katanga is ranked 233,942nd in the world and 7,378th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 23.14041574568 days.
