The United Socialist States of Lesser Phlebacite is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.386 billion Lesser Phlebaciteans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of itsoorsnoo. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Lesser Phlebacitean economy, worth a remarkable 5,587 trillion corvids 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 a breathtaking 537,941 corvids, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
The inchworm that measured the marigolds is six feet under, news editors who eschew the state-approved superlatives for describing Leader tend to disappear, old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, and police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lesser Phlebacite's national animal is the self-isolating one eyed crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Lesser Phlebacite is ranked 38,161st in the world and 294th in 10000 Islands for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 3,730.25 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
