The Borderlands of DeadMemes

“Eh, could be worse”

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

The Borderlands of DeadMemes is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Quinn with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.949 billion DeadMemesians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CapybaraIsla. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The DeadMemesian economy, worth 407 trillion Dabloons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 68,454 Dabloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In the Beginning was the Word and the Word was "Pragmatism", economic planning is exalted as a human art form, on-duty Air DeadMemes flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class, and Quinn's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DeadMemes's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Triple-Baka.

DeadMemes is ranked 32,244^th in the world and 1,668^th in Osiris for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,566.61 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
