The Fall of Little Pink Plastic Bags is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, humorless population of 6.943 billion Little Pink Plastic Bagsians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Little Pink Plastic Bagsian economy, worth 930 trillion bags 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, Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 134,036 bags, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, research grant proposals read like political diatribes, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, and military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Little Pink Plastic Bags's national animal is the 2D, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Little Pink Plastic Bags is ranked 208,690th in the world and 431st in Stereo Hearts for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 27,879.55 Standard Monetary Units.
