“No, YOU, do something about it.”

The Disco Revolution of The Sarcastic Criminal is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.175 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Social Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Military funding has been stripped back, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and a National Academy regulates grammar and usage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sarcastic Criminal's national animal is the sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the hedge.

The Sarcastic Criminal is ranked 6th in the region and 34,451st in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
