The OCD Bicyclists of Wickedly evil people is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 16.424 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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, Defence, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Information Technology and Retail.

The government is reining in public spending, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, DDT is used widely to repel disease-carrying insects, and elections are outlawed and a hairstylist has recently received a government appointment. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wickedly evil people's national animal is the kitty, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the yuan.

Wickedly evil people is ranked 4,111th in the West Pacific and 79,036th in the world for Best Weather, with -37 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
