The Antination of A Primitive Tribe is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Some Old Dude with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, triple-decker prams, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.62 billion Primitive Tribeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The tiny, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government is solely concerned with Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Metaphorical City. The average income tax rate is 8.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Primitive Tribean economy, worth 38.1 trillion metaphorical currencies 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, extremely specialized black market in Basket Weaving. 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 4,993 metaphorical currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, the nation has returned to more conventional warfare to slaughter its enemies, people of faith are sent to twelve-step programs for 'The Cure', and houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. A Primitive Tribe's national animal is the None, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Metaphorical Faith.
A Primitive Tribe is ranked 286,219th in the world and 34th in Random Acts of Kindness for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -25.1 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
