The Republic of 082 Plumbum is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, devout population of 929 million 082 Plumbumians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 30.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient 082 Plumbumian economy, worth 41.0 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,104 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, literally voiceless people are unable to protest when food and water are denied to them, a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders, and adultery has been made a capital offence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 082 Plumbum's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
082 Plumbum is ranked 111,797th in the world and 11th in BTM Puppet Storage for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 3,438.08 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
