Theocratic Empire of Hermit



"My parents said I could be anything… so I became a psychopathic emperor."

The Empire of Theocratic Empire of Hermit is a very large,  environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons remarkable for its irreverence towards religion  socially progressive nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare  notable for its keen interest in outer space  renowned for its anti-smoking policies  and psychopathic Emperor.

 Its compassionate, hard-working population of 152 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Education and Social Equality are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 46%. A large private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Arms Manufacturing.

The government encourages conflict abroad to increase arms sales, Theocratic Empire of Hermit's airwaves are dominated by corporate-backed commercial radio, airport security is provided by private companies, and religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Theocratic Empire of Hermit's national animal is the Crab, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Bollock. 

Can't think of a title
The government regularly gets involved with its people and the economy, doing what it can to keep everything stable and balanced. It works mainly to keep the economy and individual rights maximized, though it cares little for political freedoms. Surprisingly enough, the nation's citizens care little for politics, trusting their psychopathic Emperor and his subordinates to keep things stable.

The nation's conflict between the public and private sector is everlasting; the government seeks a strong economy, but does not wish to endanger the civil liberties or environment, both of which having been hurt multiple times when business got out of control. As such, most businesses are government-owned or carefully regulated.

The Theocratic Empire is generally uninterested in the World Assembly, wishing to avoid having other nations control its policies. Thus, it avoids participating in it.

Though the psychopathic Emperor gets the final say in things, he has no problem allowing elections and political parties to represent the population of the nation. As a result, most believe he values how they feel on issues; others think he is simply doing this to compile ideas and act for his own personal gain, creating an illusion of control. It is unknown if either of these are true, as the psychopathic Emperor is… well, a psychopathic Emperor.
