The Outcast's of Poker Flat is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 32.341 billion Poker Flatians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.
The all-consuming a Poker Flatian economy, worth a remarkable 3,231 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 99,910 Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 565,484 per year while the poor average 8,648, a ratio of 65.4 to 1.
There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Poker Flat's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Poker Flat is ranked 229,844th in the world and 4th in New Year for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
