The Republic of Truck Island is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 6.711 billion Truck Islandians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 45.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Truck Islandian economy, worth 761 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,420 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Truck Island, and soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Truck Island's national animal is the Sand Mite, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Truck Island is ranked 127,330th in the world and 347th in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Most Stationary, with 265.97619783068 days.
