The Undignified Melodrama of The Bone of Contention is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic, humorless, devout population of 28.116 billion Bone of Contentionians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 83.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Bone of Contentionian economy, worth a remarkable 2,526 trillion sawdusts a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 89,851 sawdusts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, criminals are thrown to the skeletal horses to repay their debt to society, any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, and students athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned skeletal horseball fields. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Bone of Contention's national animal is the skeletal horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Parapsychobabblity.
The Bone of Contention is ranked 142,803rd in the world and 4th in The Skeleton Army for Most Stationary, with 192.33166857432 days.
