The Dictatorship of Far Far Away From You is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, frequent executions, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.768 billion Far Far Away From Youans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Far Far Away From Youan economy, worth a remarkable 2,675 trillion dollars 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 black market in Retail, Gambling, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 227,335 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts, shell-shocked refugees are made to provide Immigration with lively renditions of 'Dancing Queen', aggressive promotion of global warming puts polar bears on thin ice, and the fate of the world literally rests on Leader's fingers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Far Far Away From You's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Far Far Away From You is ranked 41,637th in the world and 8th in The Sasquatch Republic for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,173.08 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
