The Talking Soda Pop of Spitting Venom is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, disturbing lack of elderly people, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.83 billion Spitting Venomians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Spitting Venomian economy, worth a remarkable 1,057 trillion modests 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 135,030 modests, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 411,862 per year while the poor average 34,336, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.
An aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, getting an autograph has become harder than ever, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, and funding for education has been redirected into the military. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spitting Venom's national animal is the mouse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Spitting Venom is ranked 52,453rd in the world and 296th in Stereo Hearts for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.5 law-abiding acts per hour.
