“You Can't Stop Progress”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The People's Republic of Pradeepopoplis is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 362 million Pradeepopoplisians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Sheepville. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Pradeepopoplisian economy, worth 19.5 trillion zeds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 53,849 zeds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, and religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pradeepopoplis's national animal is the snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pradeepopoplis is ranked 5,671^st in the world and 1,100^th in The North Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 13,350 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
