The Danubian Union of Xotrayjan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Ferdinand II with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, strictly enforced bedtime, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.574 billion Danubians 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, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vienna. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Danubian economy, worth a remarkable 2,458 trillion Castars 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 132,389 Castars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Emperor Ferdinand II's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds, and it is often said that only Emperor Ferdinand II could bring down Dàguó. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xotrayjan's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Church of the Holy Chalice.
Xotrayjan is ranked 276,113th in the world and 27th in New World Union for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 7,281.4 Standard Monetary Units.
