The JOKER of IMTHEBATMAN is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working population of 11.555 billion clowns are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.6%.
The strong funny economy, worth 621 trillion jokecoins a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 53,749 jokecoins, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.
The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, military spending recently hit a new high, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IMTHEBATMAN's national animal is the bat.
IMTHEBATMAN is ranked 305,549th in the world and 3,760th in Suspicious for Smartest Citizens, with 15.72 quips per hour.
