The Chosen Musical of Fiddler on the Roof is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Tevye the Milkman with an iron fist, and renowned for its daily referendums, avant-garde cinema, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.115 billion shtetl-dwellers 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anatevka. The average income tax rate is 60.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yiddish economy, worth a remarkable 4,393 trillion rich men 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. 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 impressive 162,017 rich men, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, and weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fiddler on the Roof's national animal is the horse or mule, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tradition.

Fiddler on the Roof is ranked 15,661st in the world and 9th in Seinfeld for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
