The Holy Empire of Sapphire Meteor is a large, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, cynical population of 69 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."
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.
People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Sapphire Meteor City, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and elections have recently been reintroduced to Sapphire Meteor. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sapphire Meteor's national animal is the ~Neko~, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Wing.
Sapphire Meteor is ranked 1st in Awesomesauce Landia and 18,375th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
