The Dictatorship of 05 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The devout population of 22.873 billion 05ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong 05ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,119 trillion Golds 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, extremely specialized black market in Tourism. 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 48,942 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. 05's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
05 is ranked 233,897th in the world and 7,074th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 23.14461713188 days.
