The Kingdom of PlanetMercury is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Freddie Mercury with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.786 billion PlanetMercuries are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kensington. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient PlanetMercuryian economy, worth a remarkable 2,875 trillion pounds 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 327,318 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Aristocratic family trees are beginning to resemble tumbleweeds, amorous nobles always bring the same disappointing gift to weddings, frustrated women are overjoyed at the provision of communal washing machines, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PlanetMercury's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
PlanetMercury is ranked 6,144th in the world and 292nd in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 111.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
