The 2-8 August Ascension Paragon of Markus Sarasti-Varis is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Mestari Markus Sarasti-Varis with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.733 billion Citizen-Comrades are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand-City Kaleva. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Markus Sarasti-Varisian economy, worth 368 trillion Gold Standard Fennomarks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,941 Gold Standard Fennomarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
