The People's Republic of DoubleplusgoodINGSOC is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 3.685 billion INGSOCians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Airstrip One. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.9%.
The frighteningly efficient INGSOCian economy, worth 482 trillion INGSOC Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,060 INGSOC Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 395,547 per year while the poor average 33,833, a ratio of 11.7 to 1.
Corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, Airstrip One's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, town welcome signs list corporate sponsors, and teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DoubleplusgoodINGSOC's national animal is the INGSOC Citizen, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
DoubleplusgoodINGSOC is ranked 28,463rd in the world and 2nd in Wolf Card Farm Corporation for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.64 law-abiding acts per hour.
