Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Chemicals of Start Promising is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 6.855 billion Start Promisingians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 42.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Start Promisingian economy, worth 892 trillion good news a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,252 good news, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

The colors pink and purple are banned from military unit insignia, oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, warning signs caution Start Promisingians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Start Promising's national animal is the chemicals, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Start Promising is ranked 277,519^th in the world and 450^th in Stereo Hearts for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.16 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
