The Armed Republic of 69th Tank Division is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, feral children, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 14.65 billion 69th Tank Divisionians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Environment are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 21.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient 69th Tank Divisionian economy, worth 489 trillion HESHES 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. 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 33,393 HESHES, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, the government invades its allies more than its enemies, baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks, and families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. 69th Tank Division's national animal is the Tanks, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
69th Tank Division is ranked 323,528th in the world and 2nd in Fruits and Vegetables for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -10.95 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
