Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Worldia555 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Madeleine with a fair hand, and renowned for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 19.858 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Defence and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Apt N506. The average income tax rate is 100%. 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.

Embarrassed police officers wear spandex and carry net guns, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Worldia555's national animal is the golden retriever, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the saccor.

Worldia555 is ranked 6th in Lake ilopango and 101,321st in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -74 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
