The Daily Wanderings of Featured Hopper is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by that scwewy wabbit with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.267 billion Featured Hoppers 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carrot City. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Featured Hopperian economy, worth 995 trillion carrots a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 233,372 carrots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Breast milk lattes are the newest fad among hip urbanites, autumn landscape paintings feature men stripping leaves from bare branches with a vacuum, stern tutting by international commentators has persuaded Featured Hopper to disarm, and carpal tunnel syndrome is on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Featured Hopper's national animal is the hopper, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Featured Hopper is ranked 3,335th in the world and 1st in Iraq for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 42,948.77 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
