The Double Entendre of Architeuthis Deux is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 43.788 billion Architeuthis Deuxians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but stagnant Architeuthis Deuxian economy, worth 214 trillion dualities a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 4,905 dualities, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, all industry is owned and run by the government, and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Architeuthis Deux's national animal is the twocan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Architeuthis Deux is ranked 283,917th in the world and 6,894th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -13.62 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
