The Command Cyborg of Paradroid is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by MrDroid with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, aversion to nipples, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 33.554 billion Paradroidians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ParadroidCity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 87.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Paradroidian economy, worth a remarkable 6,040 trillion chips 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 Retail, Book Publishing, Information Technology, 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 impressive 180,024 chips, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 729,918 per year while the poor average 29,556, a ratio of 24.7 to 1.
Candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility, the Intelligence services are renowned for their godless ways, liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", and the alien invasion siren sounds eerily like a UFO. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paradroid's national animal is the mouse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.
Paradroid is ranked 275,153rd in the world and 41st in Testregionia for Most Primitive, scoring -172.91 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
