The Gradutaed Virtual Youtuber of Spade Echo is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.336 billion Spade Echoans 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.3%.
The strong Spade Echoan economy, worth 572 trillion spades 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. 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 61,372 spades, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 195,168 per year while the poor average 14,694, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.
Power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash, calling dibs is an unalienable right, and burning yourself alive is not okay but starving and whipping yourself is fine. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spade Echo's national animal is the rabbit, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Spade Echo is ranked 274,692nd in the world and 3,296th in Remembrance for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
