The Radicalanian Puppet of IWCA 012 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.244 billion IWCA 012ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.2%.
The frighteningly efficient IWCA 012ian economy, worth 346 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 106,707 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 371,165 per year while the poor average 22,356, a ratio of 16.6 to 1.
Charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, it is illegal to liberate slaves, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, and the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IWCA 012's national animal is the turtle, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.
IWCA 012 is ranked 204,800th in the world and 14th in Radicalanian Workhouse for Most Stationary, with 42.1963966054 days.
