Printa 3

The Free Land of Printa 3 is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.527 billion Printa 3ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Printa 3ian economy, worth 192 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,133 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, and private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printa 3's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printa 3 is ranked 44,855th in the world and 2,794th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
