The Most Serene Republic of Sleeping Christ is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.881 billion Sleeping Christians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beth HaKerem. The average income tax rate is 64.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Sleeping economy, worth 149 trillion Baptisms a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,559 Baptisms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, there's more vermin than ever on the metro, fat-shaming is now public policy, and the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sleeping Christ's national animal is the Sleepy Lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Sleeping Christ is ranked 31,570^th in the world and 5^th in Catholic Art Gallery for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,595.66 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
