The Republic of When Youre Ready

“When You're Ready”

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

The Republic of When Youre Ready is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its frequent executions, strictly enforced bedtime, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.525 billion When Youre Readyians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient When Youre Readyian economy, worth 832 trillion miles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,642 miles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", powerful x-ray machines used by the Customs Department can see into the homes of nearby residents, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, and a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. When Youre Ready's national animal is the million, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

When Youre Ready is ranked 27,438^th in the world and 103^rd in Stereo Hearts for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
