The Silly of Landcache is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by SuspiciousToothpaste with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, strictly enforced bedtime, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.064 billion Landcacheans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Healthcare, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toothpaste. The average income tax rate is 32.1%.
The all-consuming Landcachean economy, worth 555 trillion cliks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 109,756 cliks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
Immigrants are told to pull themselves up by their worn-out budget bootstraps, fifty years of pension funds can disappear in half a second, the backs of 'No Trespassing' signs were made for you and me, and lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Landcache's national animal is the pigeon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is being a Silly Goofster.
Landcache is ranked 24,574th in the world and 45th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Most Corrupt Governments, with 85.74 kickbacks per hour.
