Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Utter Serenity of The Queendom of Myself is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Myself with a fair hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 9.084 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, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, the Environment, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hormonal Chaos. The average income tax rate is 67%, and even higher for the wealthy. An almost nonexistent private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, The Queendom of Myself is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and students cut up leftover lexapros during Arts and Crafts. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. The Queendom of Myself's national animal is the hot flash, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Serene High Order of Mimosas, and its currency is the lexapro.

The Queendom of Myself is ranked 2,721st in Osiris and 100,139th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -41 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
