The Ridiculous Expectations of The Dumb Things I Gotta Do is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 14.492 billion Dumb Things I Gotta Doans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 53.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Dumb Things I Gotta Doan economy, worth a remarkable 1,200 trillion somethings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,831 somethings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.
Forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", Leader shrugs in the face of growing inequalities, and the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Dumb Things I Gotta Do's national animal is the something else, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Dumb Things I Gotta Do is ranked 108,403rd in the world and 3rd in The Order of Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.06 law-abiding acts per hour.
