“Chill Out”

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

The Rogue Nation of DSN61 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Dave with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.233 billion DSN61ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buenos Aires. The average income tax rate is 54.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient DSN61ian economy, worth 537 trillion dollars 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 166,401 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

A National Academy regulates grammar and usage, thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, and everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DSN61's national animal is the tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cliodhna.

DSN61 is ranked 313,817^th in the world and 1,463^rd in the Plains of Perdition for Nicest Citizens, with 0.72 average smiles per day.
