The Republic of Cwh161 is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.889 billion Cwh161ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Cwh161ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,129 trillion pesos 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. 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 impressive 191,790 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Organ donation is compulsory, Leader isn't a national brand, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and a video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cwh161's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Cwh161 is ranked 258,738th in the world and 616th in Crestwood Heights for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 39.43 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
