Dream Sequence

Population1.719 billion

The Fantasy of Dream Sequence is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.719 billion Dreamers are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.1%.

The powerhouse Dream Sequencean economy, worth 119 trillion florins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is 69,605 florins, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop), government election advice reads like a restaurant menu, and school lockers are filled with fancy underwear. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dream Sequence's national animal is the sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dream Sequence is ranked 185,947th in the world and 15th in Abraxas for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 216.88 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
