The Notorious Power Hitter of Joey Gallo is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Joey Gallo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.923 billion Joey Galloans 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dallas. The average income tax rate is 43.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Joey Galloan economy, worth a remarkable 1,384 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,739 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
A National Academy regulates grammar and usage, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, and only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joey Gallo's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Joey Gallo is ranked 41,960th in the world and 2,728th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
