The I survived the crash of 2024 of The Age of Utopia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.252 billion Utopians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akropali. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Utopian economy, worth a remarkable 2,047 trillion Utopian Dollars 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 199,680 Utopian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Lottery winners spend most of their money on security, NationStates staff are easily recognizable by their gold-plated mansions, the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, and officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Age of Utopia's national animal is the Northern Utopian Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
The Age of Utopia is ranked 286,523rd in the world and 5,327th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -17.55 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
