The Steaming Mound of Poo of Steaming Mound of Poo is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 45.386 billion Steaming Mound of Pooans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 64.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but underdeveloped Steaming Mound of Pooan economy, worth a remarkable 1,000 trillion steaming mounds of poo 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 22,053 steaming mounds of poo, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is reigning in public spending, religious classes are compulsory for all school students, and scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied dollop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Steaming Mound of Poo's national animal is the steaming mound of poo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Steaming Mound of Poo is ranked 1^st in the world and 1^st in Farkistan for Most Beautiful Environments, with zero pounds of wildlife per square mile.
