The Free Land of Tye-Dye is a large, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 62 million Tye-Dyeans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 63.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The basket case Tye-Dyean economy, worth 740 billion Labor Values 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 Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 11,943 Labor Values, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government funds large training centres to turn Baby Yodas into functioning members of society, mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights, badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, and the recital of citations that follows any political speech can be longer than the speech itself. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tye-Dye's national animal is the Baby Yoda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Tye-Dye is ranked 82,976th in the world and 23rd in Refugia for Most Armed, with 0.33 Weapons Per Person.
