The Incorporated States of The Last Issue is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Barry White with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 37.59 billion Last Issueans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Last Issuean economy, worth a remarkable 6,745 trillion Barries a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 179,445 Barries, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Barry White often plays real life games of Tower Defense against hordes of angry villagers, the default state for The Last Issue is default, for some reason the census focuses on daily banana ingestion and hourly quip rate, and euthanasia is illegal. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Last Issue's national animal is the White, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is T S O P.
The Last Issue is ranked 2,768th in the world and 1st in Wyndia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 3,598.93 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
