The Republic of Deep Blue versus Kasparov VI is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 261 million Deep Blue versus Kasparov VIians 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, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Deep Blue versus Kasparov VIian economy, worth 5.51 trillion pawns 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 21,103 pawns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
All statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, farmers sing lullabies to soothe their livestock to sleep, flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, and inter-species marriages are ignored by the government. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deep Blue versus Kasparov VI's national animal is the king, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Deep Blue versus Kasparov VI is ranked 165,568th in the world and 460th in Giovanniland for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 451.9 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
