The Dominion of Getoffmylawnia is a large, safe nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 98 million Getoffmylawnians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 60.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Getoffmylawnian economy, worth 4.28 trillion Taps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 43,639 Taps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
High-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD, adulthood begins with the creation of an email account, skateparks can be found in every city, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Getoffmylawnia's national animal is the Floogaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Getoffmylawnia is ranked 262,958th in the world and 26th in The Red Plains for Most Influential, scoring 15 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
