The Wilco of You Never Know is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.802 billion You Never Knowians 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, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 78.7%.
The frighteningly efficient You Never Knowian economy, worth 892 trillion wilcoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 131,152 wilcoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
The overhead luggage compartment is often full, frustrated women are overjoyed at the provision of communal washing machines, politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them, and edgy teens know that illegal discos are where the cool cats hang. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. You Never Know's national animal is the album, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
You Never Know is ranked 195,190th in the world and 334th in Stereo Hearts for Most Beautiful Environments, with 475.29 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
