Poseidonland

The Republic of Poseidonland is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.723 billion Poseidonlandians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Poseidonlandian economy, worth 380 trillion Sea Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,883 Sea Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 432,581 per year while the poor average 34,874, a ratio of 12.4 to 1.

Prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, only toddlers and the elderly watch television before 23:00, nobody draws smiley faces on receipts anymore, and a positive pregnancy test doubles as a visa. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Poseidonland's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Poseidonland is ranked 45,803rd in the world and 49th in Federation Of Sovereign States for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 193.76 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
