Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The New Adventures of Call to power is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by a Sexually Molested Panda with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 14.781 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CITY. The average income tax rate is 18%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Book Publishing and Cheese Exports.

Glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, people unhook their phones at night to escape a never-ending tirade of phone calls, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and the police have been swamped with requests to stay up past bedtime. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Call to power's national animal is the Ass, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Penny licking, and its currency is the Dream.

Call to power is ranked 7th in Generalite Mafia and 92,271st in the world for Best Weather, with -286 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
