The Kingdom of Kangaroos of Eastern Missouri is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 10.982 billion Kangaroos of Eastern Missourians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Kangaroos of Eastern Missourian economy, worth 239 trillion Kangaroo Pounds 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, 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 21,836 Kangaroo Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races, every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and Kangaroos of Eastern Missouri has designated Kangaroos of Eastern Missouri City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kangaroos of Eastern Missouri's national animal is the Kangaroo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Kangaroos of Eastern Missouri is ranked 23,064th in the world and 2nd in Eastern Missouri for Most Stationary, with 1,494.8258835886 days.
