The Empire of Hispania Major is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Diosdado II with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 9.809 billion Spanish are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madrid. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.7%.
The very strong Spanish economy, worth 614 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 62,641 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 218,837 per year while the poor average 13,037, a ratio of 16.8 to 1.
Life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old", Catholicism has been named as Hispania Major's national religion, Diosdado II has just been declared ruler of Hispania Major in an international press conference, and the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Hispania Major's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Catholicism.
Hispania Major is ranked 172,968th in the world and 4th in Terra Sacra for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
