The Black Light District Motto of Adapt or Die

“Adapt or Die!”

Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Black Light District Motto of Adapt or Die is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Antifa with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 26.31 billion Adapt or Dies hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nowhere and Everywhere. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Adapt or Diean economy, worth a remarkable 7,255 trillion Purple Medallions 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, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Retail, and Soda 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 an amazing 275,751 Purple Medallions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Laws are littered with references to cheese, Adapt or Diean watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, offering a builder a cup of tea is a legal minefield, and witches' brews set off Geiger counters. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Adapt or Die's national animal is the Black Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Adapt or Die is ranked 4,082^nd in the world and 431^st in NationStates for Most Corrupt Governments, with 252.68 kickbacks per hour.
