The Colony of 1050432 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, smutty television, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 2.217 billion 1050432ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 48.5%.
The thriving 1050432ian economy, worth 131 trillion 131514525s 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. 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 59,205 131514525s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
The government has certified several glow-in-the-dark athletes as drug free, lottery winners spend most of their money on security, the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, and signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. 1050432's national animal is the 1951822112, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
