“Calm down for the love of god”

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

The Most Serene Republic of Calm down is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 754 million Calm downians 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 Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 34.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Calm downian economy, worth 21.2 trillion Snores 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. 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 28,165 Snores, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The recital of citations that follows any political speech can be longer than the speech itself, it is rumoured that Leader uses a magic 8-ball to make policy decisions, parties on cruise ships go off with a real bang, and military information leaks are **REDACTED** by **REDACTED** in **REDACTED**. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Calm down's national animal is the Koala , which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Calm down is ranked 35,590^th in the world and 36^th in Africa for Most Pacifist, with 110.05 cheeks turned per day.
