The Republic of Messier 67 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning emu population. The quiet, industrious population of 3.151 billion Messier 67ians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 27.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Messier 67ian economy, worth 80.1 trillion bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,434 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Messier 67's national animal is the emu.
Messier 67 is ranked 186,608th in the world and 3rd in Cebulon for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
