“El Presidente Forever”

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

The People's Republic of Propagandystan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by El Presidente with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.147 billion Propagandystanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salmon's Peak. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Propagandystanian economy, worth 605 trillion Aglets a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 146,117 Aglets, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 419,539 per year while the poor average 40,467, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Propagandystan's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, sofas are perpetually on sales that Must End Soon, and diminutive Propagandystanian generals are feared for their aggressiveness. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Propagandystan's national animal is the Salmon.

Propagandystan is ranked 227,473^rd in the world and 169^th in The Allied Republic for Fattest Citizens, with 8.64 Obesity Rate.
