Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Rogue Nation of Insert Quip Here is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 13.133 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, voting has become a nightmare since everyone keeps selecting "None of the above", and hyenas are considered a delicacy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Insert Quip Here's national animal is the hyena, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the haha.

Insert Quip Here is ranked 2nd in Democratic Communist States and 91,056th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
