The Republic of Panzer Vor 253 is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.983 billion Panzer Vor 253ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 26.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Panzer Vor 253ian economy, worth 76.9 trillion Dollars 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, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, 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 25,785 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Even God cannot save you in Panzer Vor 253, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses, and barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Panzer Vor 253 City Natural History Museum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Panzer Vor 253's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Panzer Vor 253 is ranked 254,425th in the world and 656th in Celiane for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -5.29 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
