The Dumbass Triple-Changers of Octane and Sandstorm is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Octane and Sandstorm with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.83 billion Octane and Sandstormians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Metroplex. The average income tax rate is 41.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Octane and Sandstormian economy, worth 833 trillion trypticons 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 Tourism, Information Technology, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. 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 94,342 trypticons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Being Octane and Sandstorm has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, in a baffling press conference Octane and Sandstorm proudly dismantled a broken door, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and the government is flooded with compensation requests. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Octane and Sandstorm's national animal is the dune buggy, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Octane and Sandstorm is ranked 266,906th in the world and 9th in Enadia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8.6 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
