The Republic of Charmless is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, unlimited-speed roads, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.146 billion Charmlessians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Education and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Charmlessian economy, worth a remarkable 2,734 trillion currencies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 335,727 currencies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,132,426 per year while the poor average 3,174, a ratio of 986 to 1.
Graffiti graces every city's streets, the nation's countrysides are littered with landmines due to ongoing family disputes, scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished, and the roar of the Niagara 3000 mega-loo can be heard several blocks away. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Charmless's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Charmless is ranked 345,064th in the world and 49th in Vickenian experiment incubator for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 1.73 Effective Tax Rate.
