The Holy Republic of Divinitrix
The Holy Republic of Divinitrix is an island located off the coast of the Illuminati Headquarters. Divinitrix is a tiny, devout nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 6 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Religion & Spirituality and Defence are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 21%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Woodchip Exports.
Elections have been outlawed and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Divinitrix's national animal is the demi-god and its currency is the drachma.
Divinitrix and the UN
Divinitrix became a United Nations member shortly after the coming to power of Pontifax Carolus IV, succeeding the diplomatic ventures of Pontifax Dennus II. There was a long debate over the allowance of Divinitrix, a spiritually-revolving nation, into the diplomatic powers that make up the United Nations, but the Pontifax managed to steer things in favour of Divinitrix and, in the end, Divinitrix became a UN member.
Divinitin
The official Divinitrician language is Divinitin, a language with no clear roots in linguistic history. Examples of Divinitin include:
- Hello = 'Hadshi
- My name is... = Ma neuma ... sis.
- Where is... ? = Uea ... sis?
- Who are you? = Usu du sid?
Divinitrician Catholicism
This spin-off of standard Catholicism forms the base of the Divinitrician government, and, indeed the leader of Divinitrix, the effective Pope of this religion, the Pontifax. Divinitrician Catholicism is based on the concept of the Quintune Spirit (The Governor, the Commander, the Persuador, the Messenger and the Onlooker) and the Ultimate God, crucified and resurrected, immortal forever more. Divinitrician Catholic (DivCatholic) churches exist only in Divinitrix at the moment, though Divinitrician emmigrants may build DivCatholic churches later on.
