The Republic of Audrey 20 is a very large, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 131 million Audrey 20ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 42.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Audrey 20ian economy, worth 1.28 trillion Join Lilies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,801 Join Lilies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Audrey 20's national animal is the Join Lily.
Audrey 20 is ranked 217,433rd in the world and 4,569th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring zero on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
