The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Operator Catcherian economy, worth 26.2 trillion ★★★★s a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,106 ★★★★s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, cold medicines curiously become cheaper when government officials sneeze, and muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Operator Catcher's national animal is the Perro.
