The 75th Corporatist Corps of HubenPhone is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner with an iron fist, and remarkable for its suspicion of poets. The cynical, devout population of 5.662 billion Mercs are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, well-organized government prioritizes Healthcare, although Environment, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while Public Transport is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Underground Paystation. The average income tax rate is 44.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Corporatist Merc economy, worth 223 trillion Gold Coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,469 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The weather in Underground Paystation is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings', dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia, children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, and citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. HubenPhone's national animal is the Van Owen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
HubenPhone is ranked 148,334th in the world and 2nd in Gdpoper for Most Extreme, scoring 19.05 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
