The Republic of Audrey 10 is a massive, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 2.149 billion Audrey 10ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Audrey 10ian economy, worth 32.3 trillion Join Lilies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 15,019 Join Lilies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year, pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, and Audrey 10 has designated Audrey 10 City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Audrey 10's national animal is the Join Lily, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Audrey 10 is ranked 263,672nd in the world and 8,145th in Suspicious for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.07 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
