The Radicalanian Puppet of IWCA 001 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, avowedly heterosexual populace, and frequent executions. The cynical, devout population of 3.623 billion IWCA 001ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.6%.
The frighteningly efficient IWCA 001ian economy, worth 372 trillion rupees a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,825 rupees, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 291,072 per year while the poor average 29,045, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.
Park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto IWCA 001ian beaches, and returning tourists and businessmen are detained without trial if they belong to the "wrong" religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IWCA 001's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
IWCA 001 is ranked 62,174th in the world and 39th in Radicalanian Workhouse for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 50,795.65 Standard Monetary Units.
