The Kentucky Wildcats of Soup Beans and Fried Potatoes is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Mark Stoops with an even hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.339 billion Wildcats are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lexington. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Kentucky economy, worth a remarkable 1,084 trillion greybacks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 147,726 greybacks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 540,048 per year while the poor average 28,663, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.
The nation is Bourbon Pecan Pie's leading manufacturer of intricately-patterned sweaters, prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet, Mark Stoops steals from the rich and gives to the needy, and eminent domain has been abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soup Beans and Fried Potatoes's national animal is the wildcat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Pentecostal Snake Handlers.
Soup Beans and Fried Potatoes is ranked 268,751st in the world and 3rd in Bourbon Pecan Pie for Safest, scoring 10.98 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
