The Republic of Mobilitus is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its national health service, ban on automobiles, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.66 billion Mobilitusians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — is primarily concerned with Industry, although Public Transport is also considered important, while Education and Environment receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Mobilitusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,519 trillion currencies a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 228,182 currencies, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.
The upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, the nation has declared its intention to "stretch out", blocked storm drains cause sanitation problems, and closed universities are currently being converted into McRonald's restaurants. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Mobilitus's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Mobilitus is ranked 286,698th in the world and 14th in Vickenian experiment containment zone for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -433.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
