National State of Truly Awsome 9/29/15

The Dictatorship of Truly Awsome is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and digital currency. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 666 million Awesome Guys And Girlss are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Creepificus. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Truly Awsomean economy, worth 33.6 trillion Francoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,413 Francoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens must pay to enjoy Truly Awsome's pristine beaches, the government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, the people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth, and breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Truly Awsome's national animal is the Byfuglien, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Truly Awsome is ranked 232nd in Balder and 9,752nd in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 178 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
