The Republic of Opulent Octopi is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 15.791 billion Opulent Octopians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Industry and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.
The powerhouse Opulent Octopian economy, worth 742 trillion Suckers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 47,033 Suckers, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 184,006 per year while the poor average 8,189, a ratio of 22.5 to 1.
Voting is compulsory, punitive tariffs protect local industry, thieves are flogged in public for their crimes, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is a problem. Opulent Octopi's national animal is the Blue Ringed Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Opulent Octopi is ranked 16,594th in the world and 5th in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 1,733.93036250608 days.
