The Bad Bad Hats of Super America- is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.793 billion Super America-ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Super America-ian economy, worth 728 trillion bad bad hats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,266 bad bad hats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, and fans doing the wave routinely disrupt the finals of Go tournaments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Super America-'s national animal is the hat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Super America- is ranked 26,813th in the world and 99th in Stereo Hearts for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
