The Makasta of Weebkasta is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.382 billion Weebkastans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.9%.
The all-consuming Weebkastan economy, worth 500 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,998 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 341,222 per year while the poor average 17,941, a ratio of 19.0 to 1.
Murder is sanctioned if the legal paperwork is filled out correctly, teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, the government seizes all major gold finds, and love is a precious butterfly to be crushed under diplomatic protocol. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Weebkasta's national animal is the sheep.
Weebkasta is ranked 49,724th in the world and 1st in Astolfo for Most Stationary, with 910.42200760732 days.
