“Behind you! Spiders!”

The Grand Duchy of Behind Your Eye is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Hoser Jones with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, strictly enforced bedtime, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 25.654 billion Behind Your Eyeans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Behind Your Eye City. The average income tax rate is 51.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Behind Your Eyean economy, worth a remarkable 5,485 trillion toenails 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. 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 213,814 toenails, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, escalators are avoided at all costs, and foreign musicians that Hoser Jones dislikes are turned away at the border. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Behind Your Eye's national animal is the ocelot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pastafarian.

Behind Your Eye is ranked 243,633^rd in the world and 96^th in Pony Lands for Least Corrupt Governments, with 63.16 percentage of bribes refused.
