The Rick Rolling Republic of Desert you is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Rick Astley with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.894 billion Desert youans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rick. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Desert youan economy, worth 446 trillion Ricks a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,588 Ricks, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning, studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done", and the new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Desert you's national animal is the Rick, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Desert you is ranked 20,844^th in the world and 48^th in The Funian Puppet Region for Most Corrupt Governments, with 97.47 kickbacks per hour.
