The Shopping Mall Tyranny of Konzum K-plus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Ivica Todoric with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.075 billion SHOPPERS 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Konzum Shopping Mall. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Konzum K-plusian economy, worth a remarkable 8,497 trillion Floggings 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. 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 a breathtaking 528,594 Floggings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Salmonellaball fields, pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, and historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Konzum K-plus's national animal is the Salmonella, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Consumerism.
Konzum K-plus is ranked 108,433rd in the world and 38th in Psychotic Dictatorships for Most Primitive, scoring -25.29 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
