The Loving Couple of Too Many-Options-

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

The Loving Couple of Too Many-Options- is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Masha with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.682 billion Too Many-Options-ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Education, Industry, and Defense are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cuticle Valley. The average income tax rate is 54.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Too Many-Options-ian economy, worth 345 trillion snails a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,731 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Constituents prefer a carrot and boomstick approach to dealing with politicians, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', tens of thousands of Too Many-Options-ians rock the night away at the annual SuperLob, and trespassers entering Masha's office are immediately vaporized. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Too Many-Options-'s national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

Too Many-Options- is ranked 34,982^nd in the world and 5^th in The TWR and NE Puppet Depot for Most Corrupt Governments, with 62.29 kickbacks per hour.
