The Waltz of Neo270 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its daily referendums, aversion to nipples, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.092 billion Neo270ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Neo270ian economy, worth 514 trillion rubles 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, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. 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 84,416 rubles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 337,497 per year while the poor average 14,186, a ratio of 23.8 to 1.
East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', Maths Professor Barbie is the most popular toy for boys and girls alike, the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo270's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Neo270 is ranked 11,994th in the world and 63rd in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,579.93 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
