The Free Land of Disastertown is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 469 million casualties 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 minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with International Aid and Welfare not funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.
The very strong Disastertownian economy, worth 30.5 trillion mishaps 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 Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 64,966 mishaps, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.
Elections are outlawed and a hairstylist has recently received a government appointment, senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, and the nation is a world leader in martyrs per capita. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Disastertown's national animal is the cat-aclysm.
Disastertown is ranked 187,753rd in the world and 6th in The Anduavas for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 670.48 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
