The Dictatorship of Horrible place is a huge, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 442 million failures are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of federal confinement. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped useless economy, worth 16.9 trillion nonexistent monies 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 large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming and Automobile 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 38,307 nonexistent monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, children are encouraged to fail at school so as not to appear too enlightened, the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, and park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Horrible place's national animal is the dodo bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Horrible place is ranked 75,421^st in the world and 3,690^th in Osiris for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
