The Strawberry Fields of Wandering Hippy is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 21.226 billion Hippies love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — prioritizes Welfare, although Healthcare, Education, and Spirituality are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but stagnant a Barefoot Hippie economy, worth 217 trillion Golden Apples a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 10,243 Golden Apples, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wandering Hippy's national animal is the Walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Wandering Hippy is ranked 34,379th in the world and 17th in Hippy Haven for Most Stationary, with 1,292.08936750672 days.
