“Ribbit”

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

The Republic of HumanConsequences is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, disturbing lack of elderly people, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.534 billion HumanConsequencesians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 36.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong HumanConsequencesian economy, worth 696 trillion tacoes 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 81,591 tacoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, crop circles are intently studied by investigators with questionable merits, The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been banned for advocating gluttony, and the government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HumanConsequences's national animal is the frog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

HumanConsequences is ranked 151,840^th in the world and 3,853^rd in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
