The Free Land of Unknown Power is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 117 million Unknown Powerians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Unknown Powerian economy, worth 1.32 trillion Gonzagas 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 11,253 Gonzagas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
All recreational drugs are legal, surveillance cameras are banned, traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, and public shaming is the bedrock of Unknown Powerian society. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unknown Power's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Unknown Power is ranked 21,179th in the world and 1,209th in Osiris for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 53.38 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
