The Republic of The Misconception is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its national health service, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.183 billion misconceptians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serendipity. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient misconceptionian economy, worth a remarkable 4,016 trillion pebles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 220,918 pebles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and political spontaneity takes a lot of planning. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Misconception's national animal is the manic monkey mind, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of Bloggessianism.
The Misconception is ranked 1,318th in the world and 54th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 159.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
