The Theocracy of 50-Farmer is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 547 million 50-Farmerians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 48.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped 50-Farmerian economy, worth 16.3 trillion dollars 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 29,813 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, it's not only teenagers who mess around with fake IDs, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 50-Farmer's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
50-Farmer is ranked 132,754th in the world and 2,284th in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 100.81953964212 days.
