The Republic of Dot Matrix

“Unity, Discipline, Work”

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

The Republic of Dot Matrix is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.295 billion Dot Matrixians 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 Law & Order, Public Transport, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 20.0%.

The Dot Matrixian economy, worth 150 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,602 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Cars have been banned, a major religion has been named as Dot Matrix's national religion, even the most lowly council pen-pusher has the same political power as a senior minister, and Dot Matrix has designated Dot Matrix City as its capital city. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dot Matrix's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Dot Matrix is ranked 196,669^th in the world and 13^th in The Red Plains for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -2.45 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
