“The coffee must flow”

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

The People's Republic of CoffeeLovers is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by The Chief Barista with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 835 million Liberated Proletariats are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seattle. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient CoffeeLoversian economy, worth 91.4 trillion Beans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 109,481 Beans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, children have taken to using semaphore in light of the recent mobile phone ban, and primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment The Chief Barista's hair. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CoffeeLovers's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

CoffeeLovers is ranked 313,725^th in the world and 222^nd in Africa for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -11.58 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
