The Republic of Concentrated Sulfuric Acid is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory vegetarianism, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 12.031 billion Concentrated Sulfuric Acidians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 33.8%.
The strong Concentrated Sulfuric Acidian economy, worth 698 trillion florins 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 Gambling, Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. 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 58,083 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
Over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, warning signs caution Concentrated Sulfuric Acidians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', and Harry Potter books are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Concentrated Sulfuric Acid's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Concentrated Sulfuric Acid is ranked 33,754th in the world and 53rd in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 1,302.34502066532 days.
