The Republic of -A100 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.584 billion -A100ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The -A100ian economy, worth 78.6 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,619 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, Leader has killer fashion sense, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, and neighboring nations are tired of -A100's big fish stories. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -A100's national animal is the U-300, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

-A100 is ranked 176,228^th in the world and 6^th in Freely Guads for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
