The Republic of You 629 is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The quiet, industrious population of 5.108 billion You 629ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 45.1%.
The large but inefficient You 629ian economy, worth 184 trillion baht a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,067 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
Throwing a sickie is a serious crime, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, and citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. You 629's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
You 629 is ranked 124,096th in the world and 649th in Dead Sea for Most Stationary, with 280.16154291872 days.
