Creeptopia

Creeptopia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Tsar Leopohld II with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, aversion to nipples, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.865 billion Creeptopians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Creeptopijegrad. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient creeptopian economy, worth 352 trillion Creeptopian Denars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,987 Creeptopian Denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Gambling is outlawed, everyone wants to be on the guest list for diplomatic parties, politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems, and seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Creeptopia's national animal is the Two-headed eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Creeptopian Orthodox Christianity.
