Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Nomadic Peoples of Whereyouthinkyougoing is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 14.576 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Away. The average income tax rate is 97%. 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.

The mighty migrating mule is a protected species, expensive lawyers are hired to defend citizens in court for public urination charges against their pets, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, and Whereyouthinkyougoing has designated Away as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown. Whereyouthinkyougoing's national animal is the mighty migrating mule, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the common pebble.

Whereyouthinkyougoing is ranked 3rd in Democratic Communist States and 99,900th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -40 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
