The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 42.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish A Warhawk or Faerie economy, worth 19.4 trillion Energy Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 28,716 Energy Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes.
