The NationStates ~~TYPE~~ of A Badly Conceived Designation is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by ~~LEADER~~ with an iron fist, and renowned for its daily referendums, zero percent divorce rate, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.466 billion ~~DEMONYMNOUNPLURAL~~ 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ~~CAPITAL~~. The average income tax rate is 71.5%.
The frighteningly efficient ~~DEMONYMADJECTIVE~~ economy, worth a remarkable 2,097 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, highly specialized black market in Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. 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 144,970 ~~CURRENCY~~s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
Armed security details escort librarians to their homes, looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities, child shoplifters spend half their youth behind bars, and the nation wears its high incidence of chromosomal diseases as a badge of pride. Crime is all-pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. A Badly Conceived Designation's national animal is the ~~ANIMAL~~ cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is ~~FAITH~~.
A Badly Conceived Designation is ranked 260,160th in the world and 34th in Testregionia for Smartest Citizens, with 0.11 quips per hour.
