New Vettonia

Background
Founded by the great pharaoh Baenpet in 2004, The Dominion of New Vettonia is a militarian fascist nation built around a theocracy. The sole leader of the nation claims to have direct contact with gods that have been long forgotten by humanity, gods that are responsible for the nation's many successes and for the nation winning every battle it has been in. It is illegal to be unemployed, all businesses receive government funding, and half of the year is spent rallying up humans to sacrifice to the gods. Every citizen must enlist in some branch of the military by their 10th birthday or face execution. The only way to immigrate to New Vettonia is to either join its military or to sacrifice a spouse or child to the gods.
