“Rise above your station in life”

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

The Meritocratic Republic of Dastrovakia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Archminister Newell Seaborg with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, public floggings, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed population of 9.872 billion Dastrovars have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elon. The average income tax rate is 46.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Dastrovakian economy, worth a remarkable 1,710 trillion Dysons a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 173,293 Dysons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Dastrovars are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, Rosy Maple Moths are frequently shot for looking at people 'in a funny way', emergency services don't respond to trailer park fires, and trick-or-treaters and circus clowns have been arrested under suspicion of being renegade vigilantes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dastrovakia's national animal is the Rosy Maple Moth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Saganism.

Dastrovakia is ranked 218,212^th in the world and 1,184^th in Europe for Most Extreme, scoring 5.41 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
