The Holy Empire of Desat



We welcome The Holy Empire of Desat (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=desat ), coming from the Region of Europe (then to The Holy Empire of Nuevo Leon and finally to Equilism), as our 27th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire.

The Holy Empire of Desat is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, cynical population of 266 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 67%, and even higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.
Welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, and drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Desat's national animal is the snow cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the daber.
