The Holy Empire of The Wealth Gap is a large, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 145 million Wealth Gapians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 51.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Wealth Gapian economy, worth 11.5 trillion Holynesses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 79,520 Holynesses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "blue screen of death" forces many trials to be either aborted or restarted, the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, the prisoners of Azkatraz have a new emperor, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Wealth Gap's national animal is the Peacock, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Wealth Gap is ranked 89,276^th in the world and 2^nd in Ray Rice Region for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 51.74 Effective Tax Rate.
