SADOUTER

The World of SADOUTER is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The cynical population of 6.905 billion SADOUTERians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.5%.

The all-consuming SADOUTERian economy, worth 680 trillion golds 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. 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 98,485 golds, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, the digital money revolution has cashed out, and money can't buy you love but you can purchase a reasonable approximation of it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SADOUTER's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SADOUTER is ranked 235,802nd in the world and 27th in The Amaranthine Isles for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 646.49 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
