The Republic of You 238 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 8.299 billion You 238ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 34.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The You 238ian economy, worth 527 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,503 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
The jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", and captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. You 238's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
You 238 is ranked 193,241st in the world and 866th in Dead Sea for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.65 kickbacks per hour.
