The NationStates ~~TYPE~~ of A Badly Conceived Designation is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by ~~LEADER~~ with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, avowedly heterosexual populace, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 19.767 billion ~~DEMONYMNOUNPLURAL~~ are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ~~CAPITAL~~. The average income tax rate is 26.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient ~~DEMONYMADJECTIVE~~ economy, worth a remarkable 4,542 trillion ~~CURRENCY~~s 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 229,792 ~~CURRENCY~~s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
School guidance counselors recommend monastic vows as an alternative to higher education, caroling is considered a public disturbance, frat-house partying has become the national pastime, and the constantly ringing phones in ~~LEADER~~'s office have driven a few interns mad. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. A Badly Conceived Designation's national animal is the ~~ANIMAL~~, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is ~~FAITH~~.
A Badly Conceived Designation is ranked 16,085th in the world and 3rd in Testregionia for Nudest, with 655.5 cheeks per square mile.
