The Eternal Misfortune of Askatopia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Executioner with an iron fist, and renowned for its fear of technology, ban on automobiles, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.446 billion Disposables 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, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration also on the agenda, while Education and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Unyielding Cesspit Of Filth. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Disposable economy, worth an astonishing 14,826 trillion Nuclear Bombs 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. 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 a breathtaking 660,521 Nuclear Bombs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
City-dwellers are forcibly moved to farming communes in the countryside, being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, no true communist is an unbeliever, and citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Askatopia's national animal is the Slug, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.
Askatopia is ranked 310,289th in the world and 36th in Pencil Sharpeners Puppet Storage for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 24.2 Workforce Participation Rate.
