“We are awesome”

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

The United Provinces of Awesometonia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Steve Jobs with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.909 billion Awesometonians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Munich. The average income tax rate is 58.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Awesometonian economy, worth 259 trillion oreos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 89,217 oreos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

On-duty Air Awesometonia flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class, posters on 'Awesometonian Values' advise against being proud of Awesometonia, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, and only adults may purchase violent video games. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Awesometonia's national animal is the tiger shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is All hail Apple.

Awesometonia is ranked 24,705^th in the world and 47^th in Lands End for Highest Poor Incomes, with 69,576.25 Standard Monetary Units.
