The Destroyer of Soutouboua is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Me with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 30.817 billion Soutoubouans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soutouboua. The average income tax rate is 87.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Soutoubouan economy, worth a remarkable 3,638 trillion xofs a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 118,077 xofs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards, oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds, and government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Soutouboua's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Soutouboua is ranked 234,290th in the world and 7,173rd in Balder for Most Stationary, with 23.21382542092 days.
