The Free Land of Ilikemonie is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 608 million Ilikemonieans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.
The powerhouse Ilikemoniean economy, worth 52.2 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 85,929 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 336,179 per year while the poor average 14,962, a ratio of 22.5 to 1.
There is a heavy social stigma attached to e-cigarettes, newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines, the youth vote is only counted when kindergarten teachers ask who drew the best picture, and confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ilikemonie's national animal is the Bald eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Ilikemonie is ranked 34,791st in the world and 2,098th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 62.63 kickbacks per hour.
