The Republic of You 252 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.086 billion You 252ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 42.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient You 252ian economy, worth 441 trillion florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,586 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, the entire entry for You 252 in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', the lactose-intolerant are force-fed cheese products with predictably gassy results, and gun regulations are so strict even staple guns and hot glue guns are illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. You 252's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
You 252 is ranked 122,881st in the world and 269th in Dead Sea for Most Stationary, with 283.689401772 days.
