“No U”

The Awesomium of New Youland is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.785 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Uranium Mining.

All alcohol is banned, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, government-run brothels can be found on every street corner, and Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. New Youland's national animal is the knarf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the fol.

New Youland is ranked 1st in the region and 3,322nd in the world for Rudest Citizens.
