The Most Serene Republic of Uohwo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Doge Iman Bellandi with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ban on automobiles, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.58 billion Uohwoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 39.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Uohwoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,152 trillion Us a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Gambling, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,958 Us, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Agreeing to appear on TV is often the best way to access social care, academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs, companies flee the nation rather than pay their fair share of taxes, and songs in 4/4 time are simply too common for the musical cognoscenti. Crime is a serious problem. Uohwo's national animal is the iguana, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.
Uohwo is ranked 273,518th in the world and 9,867th in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 0.5 average smiles per day.
