The Republic of Cwh624 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.256 billion Cwh624ians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Cwh624ian economy, worth 142 trillion dollars 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, 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 an impressive 113,687 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 443,050 per year while the poor average 19,922, a ratio of 22.2 to 1.
Leader claims tax rises are the result of 'curses', local officials love to claim the protection of their Big Brother, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cwh624's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Cwh624 is ranked 281,737th in the world and 603rd in Crestwood Heights for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.66 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
