Location: the Rejected Realms

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Ejected and banned people of Please Eject Me is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.624 billion are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Defence, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 48%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture.

Marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and the government is seen to favor Catholics. 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. Please Eject Me's national animal is the human , which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the nuke.

Please Eject Me is ranked 172nd in the Rejected Realms and 12,078th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -7 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
