The Jingoistic Imperium of GuyFawkesStan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Catesby with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, public floggings, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.19 billion Fawkes 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catesby. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.5%.
The powerhouse Fawkestani economy, worth a remarkable 1,462 trillion Barrels 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 236,245 Barrels, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.
Virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Catesby, theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, waste is frequently shipped to other countries, and suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GuyFawkesStan's national animal is the Guy Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Harrispitaller.
GuyFawkesStan is ranked 292,006th in the world and 11,268th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -26.64 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
