The Holy Empire of New Israel and Pan-America

The Holy Empire of New Israel and Pan-America is a tiny, devout nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 21%. A large private sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Automobile Manufacturing.

Harry Potter books are banned, Lambs are considered a delicacy, the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year, and genetic researchers have been expelled. Crime is a problem. New Israel and Pan-America's national animal is the Lamb, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Christian Dollar.
