“Might Makes Right”

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

The Republic of Weepingnut is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.299 billion Weepingnutians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 40.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Weepingnutian economy, worth 69.3 trillion florins 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. 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 8,350 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, Leader has just been declared ruler of Weepingnut in an international press conference, and Weepingnut has designated Weepingnut City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Weepingnut's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Weepingnut is ranked 119,870^th in the world and 4^th in Jregoria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
