The Republic of Benevolent Dictatorship is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 598 million Benevolent Dictatorshipians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The relatively small, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.1%.
The very strong Benevolent Dictatorshipian economy, worth 34.0 trillion rubledollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 56,818 rubledollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 168,940 per year while the poor average 14,982, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.
Crime is a problem. Benevolent Dictatorship's national animal is the hawk.
