The Revolutionary Autocracy of Redsington is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Protector Ardyll with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.027 billion Redsingtonians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Levonshire. The average income tax rate is 34.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Redsingtonian economy, worth 369 trillion Stammppes 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 impressive 182,212 Stammppes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
Parents are fined for sending their children to take out the trash after sunset, the derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, and the navy is hoping to hear the enemy shout "you sank my battleship!". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Redsington's national animal is the Wild boar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is State mandated secularism.
Redsington is ranked 279,535th in the world and 279th in Karma for Most Stationary, with 6.7796137166 days.
