The OMG Its Caek of Ekac is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 41.742 billion Ekacs enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, International Aid, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Caek economy, worth 987 trillion ekacs 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. 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 23,649 ekacs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Voting is voluntary, Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, all recreational drugs are legal, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ekac's national animal is the ekac, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ekac is ranked 111,484th in the world and 28th in Texas for Most Primitive, scoring -28.28 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
