The Armed Republic of Taduwe III is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 6.288 billion Taduwe IIIians 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 66.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Taduwe IIIian economy, worth 57.7 trillion Violetist dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 9,171 Violetist dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Military spending recently hit a new high, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taduwe III's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Taduwe III is ranked 73,122nd in the world and 1,926th in Suspicious for Most Corrupt Governments, with 23.9 kickbacks per hour.
