Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Federation of Peace and Omnipotence is a massive, genial nation, ruled by John with a fair hand, and remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.566 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Social Welfare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atomic Quantom. The average income tax rate is 99%. 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.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons, main battle tanks stalk the woods of Peace and Omnipotence in search of Robots, and the wreckages of bombed planes that litter Peace and Omnipotence are highly popular tourist destinations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peace and Omnipotence's national animal is the Robot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Peace, and its currency is the credit.

Peace and Omnipotence is ranked 26th in Funen and 100,484th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -45 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
