The Dictatorship of Hedonismia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Nashiro with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, infamous sell-swords, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.938 billion Idiots are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warcrime. The average income tax rate is 73.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Hedonismian economy, worth 477 trillion Deutschmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 246,635 Deutschmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.
Seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Nashiro's throne, citizens have an obligation to remain silent and anything they say may be used against them, and the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hedonismia's national animal is the Emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.
Hedonismia is ranked 342,506th in the world and 100th in Right to Life for Nicest Citizens, with 0.18 average smiles per day.
