“Nothing lasts forever”

The New Adventures of Call to power is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by a Sexually Molested Panda with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.672 billion 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.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt individuals juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CITY. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Gambling.

Popular political cartoonists are thrown in jail for inciting dissent, scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished, waste is frequently shipped to other countries, and the right to free speech is being drastically curtailed. 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 the region and 46,721st in the world for Most Armed.
