The Republic of Industry Timber Woodchipping is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.706 billion Lumberjacks 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 effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Administration and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Jackin economy, worth 680 trillion logs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 119,302 logs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 771,889 per year while the poor average 7,399, a ratio of 104 to 1.
Posters of politicians in sensual poses can be found on the walls of teenagers' rooms, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, relatives of recent award winners find their trophies make stylish urns, and confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Industry Timber Woodchipping's national animal is the woodpecker, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Industry Timber Woodchipping is ranked 63,847th in the world and 10th in Stats for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,656.67 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
