The 24 of ------------------------ is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Riemstagrad with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 26.748 billion ------------------------ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riemstagrad. The average income tax rate is 62.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient ------------------------ian economy, worth a remarkable 4,615 trillion 24s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 172,560 24s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, and cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. ------------------------'s national animal is the shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
------------------------ is ranked 50,628th in the world and 2,879th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 71 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
