The Republic of SSN83 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Daniel O'Connell with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.932 billion SSN83ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient SSN83ian economy, worth 561 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 191,455 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
The government invades its allies more than its enemies, supervisors in SSN83 commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, the Dublin Prison Revue puts on a better stage show than anything in the Theatre District, and the government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SSN83's national animal is the giraffe, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Celtic Paganism.
SSN83 is ranked 101,915th in the world and 4th in Ceylon for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 218.04 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
