Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The New Gothic Empire of Automagfreek is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lord Damien Dreadfire II with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 22.035 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, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as the Environment and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ULE City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

The commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled Automagfreek with a very polite populace, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, billions of marks are being blown on orbital weapons development, and military service is compulsory. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Automagfreek's national animal is the Piranha, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Vanmakt, and its currency is the mark.

Automagfreek is ranked 17th in Gholgoth and 102,486th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 67 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
