The DEN Station of Desert Radio is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 18.686 billion Cameloans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but stagnant Desert Radioan economy, worth 174 trillion radio 📻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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. 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 9,329 radio 📻s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Voting is voluntary, all recreational drugs are legal, refugees from other nations are flocking to Desert Radio's border, and scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied radio camel. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Desert Radio's national animal is the camel 🐫, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Desert Radio is ranked 268,041st in the world and 7th in desert for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.7 kickbacks per hour.
