The Morbid Abode of Catacomb Dwellers is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by a Premier with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 20.967 billion Catacomb Dwellers live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals prioritizes Administration, with International Aid also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Welfare receive no funds. Income tax is unheard of.
The large but stagnant Catacomb Dwelling economy, worth 690 trillion Francs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 32,952 Francs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 287,793 per year while the poor average 579, a ratio of 496 to 1.
The new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and Catacomb Dwellers City has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Catacomb Dwellers's national animal is the Rat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Catacomb Dwellers is ranked 177,321st in the world and 3rd in Paris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 32,952.09 Standard Monetary Units.
