The Republic of Qw30

“Mission Accomplished”

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

The Republic of Qw30 is a huge, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 248 million Qw30ians 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 47.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Qw30ian economy, worth 2.31 trillion marks 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 black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Cheese Exports. 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 9,325 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Harry Potter books are banned, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qw30's national animal is the sheep.

Qw30 is ranked 164,281^st in the world and 10^th in The bestest region for Largest Governments, scoring 12.33 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
