The Republic of Audrey 22 is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 198 million Audrey 22ians 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 Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 46.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Audrey 22ian economy, worth 1.82 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 black market in Tourism, Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. 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 9,178 Join Lilies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Audrey 22's national animal is the Join Lily.
Audrey 22 is ranked 306,544th in the world and 72nd in Xianggang for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 9,432 Standard Monetary Units.
