The All Time Great of Ted Williams is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Ted Williams with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, parental licensing program, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.901 billion Ted Williamsians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boston. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Ted Williamsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,390 trillion Shiny Green Things a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 127,535 Shiny Green Things, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 399,318 per year while the poor average 31,231, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.
Diaper ads feature vertically-challenged adults wearing bootees, financial investors are noting a boom in artillery, newspapers are running a front-page picture of Ted Williams holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker, and graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ted Williams's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ted Williams is ranked 38,472nd in the world and 1,010th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
