The Republic of IWCA 050 is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 771 million IWCA 050ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.0%.
The very strong IWCA 050ian economy, worth 55.7 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,269 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.
The military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, adulthood begins with the creation of an email account, and beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IWCA 050's national animal is the porpoise.
IWCA 050 is ranked 48,069th in the world and 131st in Devide by Zero for Most Armed, with 1.33 Weapons Per Person.
