The Communist regime of Idle Wasteland is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Observer with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, zero percent divorce rate, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 915 million Wastelandians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grounzero city. The average income tax rate is 51.3%.
The sizeable but inefficient Idle Wastelandian economy, worth 60.4 trillion Soul coins 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Cheese 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 65,983 Soul coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
The nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, weekends are spent tilting at windmills, hammer and sickle-wielding space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, and students and teachers are regularly stopped and searched for symbols of religious affiliation before class. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Idle Wasteland's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Idle Wasteland is ranked 328,460th in the world and 181st in Kantrias for Nicest Citizens, with 0.41 average smiles per day.
