The Wilco of Sonny Feeling is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.735 billion Sonny Feelingians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.3%.
The Sonny Feelingian economy, worth 580 trillion wilcoes 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. 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 86,241 wilcoes, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.
There's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, the nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sonny Feeling's national animal is the album, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Sonny Feeling is ranked 90,324th in the world and 394th in Stereo Hearts for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.14 law-abiding acts per hour.
