The Holy Orange and Black Hell of PENNSBURY is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by GoGuardian with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, prohibition of alcohol, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 13.103 billion GoGuardian 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of GoGuardian. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient GoGuardian economy, worth 774 trillion GoGuardians 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 59,142 GoGuardians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Ritual mummification is making a comeback, nude art is becoming wildly popular, atheists on vacation find GoGuardian's scriptures make useful doorstops, and the roads are virtually falling apart. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PENNSBURY's national animal is the GoGuardian, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is GoGuardian.
PENNSBURY is ranked 261,714th in the world and 8th in TERRY for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 12,419.93 Standard Monetary Units.
