The Dominion of Desertiania is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Mr Mackie with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, enslaved workforce, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.675 billion Desertianians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vegas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Desertianian economy, worth a remarkable 1,189 trillion Cheeses a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 209,554 Cheeses, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,497,775 per year while the poor average 9,591, a ratio of 156 to 1.
Religious education is a new government priority, peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, parents must decide between buying food and taking their children to the park, and after every storm there's an expensive government-funded rainbow. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Desertiania's national animal is the Haast's eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Devonism.
Desertiania is ranked 46,802nd in the world and 1st in The Free Economic Zone of Desertiania for Most Stationary, with 937.09761553492 days.
