The Republic of Knights Templar III is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The quiet, industrious population of 1.169 billion Knights Templar IIIians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 24.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Knights Templar IIIian economy, worth 55.2 trillion golds a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,193 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, many friends and relatives of Leader have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, bike rage is all the rage, and terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Knights Templar III's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Knights Templar III is ranked 201,910th in the world and 97th in Yorkshire for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
