The New Stupas

The Most Serene Republic of The New Stupas is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, feral children, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 111 million New Stupasians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 54.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish New Stupasian economy, worth 2.92 trillion Merits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 26,339 Merits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, the Gallery of Instasnap is the most popular museum in the country, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The New Stupas's national animal is the Gun, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The New Stupas is ranked 53,941st in the world and 723rd in the West Pacific for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 24.03 missed references per hour.
