The Most Serene Holy Queendom of Smart Cookie Bookies is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.334 billion Smart Cookies 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Index Librorum Academia City. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Smart Cookie Bookiesian economy, worth a remarkable 4,550 trillion gift cards 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, Information Technology, 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 an amazing 440,335 gift cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', bad punctuation has come to a full stop, children dream of becoming physicians and physicists, and young men in tiny bikinis draw neither comment nor stares on the morning commute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Smart Cookie Bookies's national animal is the waifu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Smart Cookie Bookies is ranked 12,020th in the world and 564th in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,011.22 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
