The Holy Empire of The Necromantic Paladin is a tiny, devout nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8 million 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."
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Religion & Spirituality and Defence are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 49%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Soda Sales.
A dictator has seized power and outlawed elections, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, nudity is frowned upon, and Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed. Crime is moderate. The Necromantic Paladin's national animal is the Serpent of Darkness, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Korrus.
