“Be sensible with the nonsense.”

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

The Commonwealth of The Impoverished is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, rampant corporate plagiarism, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 21.415 billion Impoverishedians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Welfare, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Implicity. The average income tax rate is 56.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Impoverishedian economy, worth a remarkable 6,437 trillion Impoverishments a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 300,597 Impoverishments, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The children of The Impoverished are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, nude art is becoming wildly popular, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, and the government has pinkie-promised never to use its veto power except in an emergency. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Impoverished's national animal is the Imp, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Impoverished is ranked 12,231^st in the world and 257^th in the Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 379,434 Standard Monetary Units.
