The Long and Winding Road of SkodaTruck Drivers is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, anti-smoking policies, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 25.45 billion SkodaTruck Driversians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Motor City. The average income tax rate is 49.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming SkodaTruck Driversian economy, worth a remarkable 1,413 trillion Das a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,537 Das, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
More sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, and the nation's faithful often say there is a higher power watching over them. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. SkodaTruck Drivers's national animal is the Sko, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
SkodaTruck Drivers is ranked 207,488th in the world and 3rd in Union Pacifica for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 28,102.16 Standard Monetary Units.
