The Dictatorship of The Peoples Collective Republic is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Stidles with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, public floggings, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.209 billion People's collective Republicans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quensgar. The average income tax rate is 92.6%.
The frighteningly efficient People's collective Republican economy, worth a remarkable 4,796 trillion Scrawks 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 392,872 Scrawks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.
It takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, the nation's black ops are starting to get on people's nerves, electricity company executives pray nightly to Zeus and Thor, and everyone apparently sends Stidles hair-filled lockets, offers to die heroically, and poetic desires to co-parent a child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Peoples Collective Republic's national animal is the Cockroach, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Stidlism.
The Peoples Collective Republic is ranked 5,925th in the world and 218th in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 11,478.59 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
