The Republic of You 164 is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and avant-garde cinema. The devout population of 8.486 billion You 164ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 32.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient You 164ian economy, worth 355 trillion florins a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,878 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens, surveillance cameras are banned, and artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. You 164's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
You 164 is ranked 105,635th in the world and 313th in Dead Sea for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.21 law-abiding acts per hour.
