The state of how the holy nation is is really close to how the world was when the Catholic church reigned supreme.
Times, when only the people with money to pay "Their respects", could be given shelter, food, and care from the church. And people who couldn't afford it was left to rot so the people above could pretend to do something "good" out of selfishness.
Luckily that is something that has been almost removed in most places, but human greed and the satisfaction the greedy party gets by trampling on the weak is still prevalent across all nations.
