Arrogant Cricket

The Rogue Nation of Arrogant Cricket is a large, orderly nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, irreverence towards religion, and hatred of cheese. The hard-working, cynical population of 113 million janitors are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.3%.

The mentally slow economy, worth 5.83 trillion expired sandwiches a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 51,563 expired sandwiches, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, the government single-handedly sustains the bunk bed market, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arrogant Cricket's national animal is the earwig, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Arrogant Cricket is ranked 64,367th in the world and 1st in Albastru Blazers for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,578.43 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
