The Kingdom of Sycamorstan is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by King Jack III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.679 billion Sycamorstanians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Willville. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Sycamorstanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,369 trillion lire 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 Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. 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 348,151 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens wouldn't recognise King Jack III if they passed one another on the street, every political party claims that their platform is based on divine revelation, internet flame wars have been known to cause real-world casualties, and the nation is under martial law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sycamorstan's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Jackism.
Sycamorstan is ranked 345,822nd in the world and 3,945th in the West Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 0.07 average smiles per day.
