Something On Your Mind

The Republic of Something On Your Mind is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.558 billion Something On Your Mindians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Something On Your Mindian economy, worth 949 trillion rainbows a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,808 rainbows, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Balaclava manufacturers are held criminally culpable for bank heists, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, and the nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Something On Your Mind's national animal is the rainbow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Something On Your Mind is ranked 71,836th in the world and 181st in Stereo Hearts for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 48,365.88 Standard Monetary Units.
