The Fallen Empire of Otakus and Weebs is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Not John with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.373 billion Johns are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Piled Bodies of the Innocent. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient John economy, worth a remarkable 1,270 trillion Copper Pieces 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. 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 amazing 290,631 Copper Pieces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Foragers descend on national cemeteries for 'all-you-can-dig-up' extravaganzas, glossy adverts featuring baby's first puff adorn mothers' magazines, pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers, and birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Otakus and Weebs's national animal is the John, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is John.
