The Borderlands of Repressing fools is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Best Leader of the Best Country with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.377 billion Repressed Fools 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 is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital City of Repressing. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Repressed Fool economy, worth an astonishing 10,033 trillion Round rocks 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. 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 545,989 Round rocks, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.
Molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public, those awarding peace prizes to Repressed Fools find themselves in pieces, professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, and the inchworm that measured the marigolds is six feet under. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Repressing fools's national animal is the Pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Glorious Leader is Eternal God.
Repressing fools is ranked 198th in the world and 2nd in The East Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 16,115 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
