The PS2 Puppet of Askatopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Executioner with an iron fist, and notable for its fear of technology, state-planned economy, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.506 billion Disposables 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Spirituality and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Education are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Unyielding Cesspit Of Filth. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Disposable economy, worth a remarkable 6,610 trillion Nuclear Bombs 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, highly specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, 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 455,737 Nuclear Bombs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Police officers have nearly cracked a major underage astronomy syndicate, police wait behind troop deployments in order to shoot deserters, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and the state believes that children are what you make of them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Askatopia's national animal is the Slug, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.
Askatopia is ranked 77,745th in the world and 3,217th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 42,383.56 Standard Monetary Units.
