The Rogue Agency of We Are Not The EPA is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 15.673 billion We Are Not The EPAians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant We Are Not The EPAian economy, worth 135 trillion Plants a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 8,656 Plants, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have been outlawed, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, citizens select which government department gets their income tax Plants each year, and genetic researchers have been expelled. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. We Are Not The EPA's national animal is the Environment, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

We Are Not The EPA is ranked 109,262nd in the world and 36th in Devide by Zero for Most Corrupt Governments, with 10.12 kickbacks per hour.
