The Republic of IBroughtCoffee is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 18.403 billion IBroughtCoffeeans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of IBroughtCoffee City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.6%.
The very strong IBroughtCoffeean economy, worth a remarkable 1,025 trillion dimebags 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, broadly diversified black market in Gambling, Trout Farming, Tourism, 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 55,717 dimebags, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 172,228 per year while the poor average 13,899, a ratio of 12.4 to 1.
Homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, and farting etiquette is taught in schools. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. IBroughtCoffee's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
IBroughtCoffee is ranked 125,808th in the world and 152nd in LunarPunk for Most Primitive, scoring -38.73 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
