The Community of Psykorea is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.439 billion Psykoreans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Psykorean economy, worth a remarkable 7,826 trillion Ankhs 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, Retail, 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 a breathtaking 582,378 Ankhs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,829,159 per year while the poor average 141,972, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.
Train stations can be 'armful places, the fate of the world literally rests on Leader's fingers, to 'cut off family ties' is no longer just a phrase, and sushi is sold on the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Psykorea's national animal is the Dinosaur, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Psykorea is ranked 3,013th in the world and 70th in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 163.21 quips per hour.
