The Republic of Complete Control is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.302 billion Complete Controlians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 62.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Complete Controlian economy, worth 580 trillion Bolts 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, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, 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 an impressive 109,413 Bolts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, and passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Complete Control's national animal is the Robot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Complete Control is ranked 42,833rd in the world and 70th in Sunset Shimmer for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
