The Republic of SSN100 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Daniel O'Connell with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, smutty television, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.383 billion SSN100ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. The average income tax rate is 64.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient SSN100ian economy, worth 904 trillion deniers 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 amazing 206,376 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
It is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Dublin Times is sold out, and gambling is outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SSN100's national animal is the kangaroo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Celtic Paganism.
SSN100 is ranked 195,525th in the world and 23rd in The Eternal Order for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 170.64 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
