The Republic of SSN90 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Daniel O'Connell with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, avowedly heterosexual populace, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.481 billion SSN90ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient SSN90ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,016 trillion dollars 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, 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 226,744 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Adultery has been made a capital offence, Daniel O'Connell can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SSN90's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Celtic Paganism.
SSN90 is ranked 334,422nd in the world and 39th in Greater Ixnay for Most Pacifist, with 3.77 cheeks turned per day.
