The People's Eusocial Republic of Disgraces is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by First Among Equals with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 8.536 billion Miserables are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Villa Miseria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Miserable economy, worth a remarkable 1,820 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 213,287 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,946,932 per year while the poor average 2,578, a ratio of 755 to 1.
