FPC017

The United Kingdom of FPC017 is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, enslaved workforce, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.542 billion FPC017ians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.7%.

The frighteningly efficient FPC017ian economy, worth 564 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 101,824 pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 406,284 per year while the poor average 17,167, a ratio of 23.7 to 1.

Every computer glitch triggers an immediate counter-espionage response, all mines are gold mines thanks to life insurance, local officials love to claim the protection of their Big Brother, and cubicles often double as graves as citizens literally work themselves to death. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. FPC017's national animal is the sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

FPC017 is ranked 263,023rd in the world and 10th in Golden Acres for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 25,761.54 Standard Monetary Units.
