The NationStates ~~TYPE~~ of A Badly Conceived Designation is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by ~~LEADER~~ with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.493 billion ~~DEMONYMNOUNPLURAL~~ 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ~~CAPITAL~~. The average income tax rate is 24.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient ~~DEMONYMADJECTIVE~~ economy, worth a remarkable 3,396 trillion ~~CURRENCY~~s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 183,689 ~~CURRENCY~~s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, there is an abondance of ackawi and zartschmelzend in every ~~DEMONYMADJECTIVE~~ grocery store, and video clips of women firing guns are increasingly popular. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. A Badly Conceived Designation's national animal is the ~~ANIMAL~~, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is ~~FAITH~~.
