The Republic of The Upside Down Land is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.849 billion Upside Down Landians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Upside Down Landian economy, worth 708 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,196 florins, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.
The nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake, coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, polygamy is legal, and citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Upside Down Land's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Upside Down Land is ranked 111,683rd in the world and 4,646th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 77.28 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
