The Republic of Mega Tento is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.028 billion Mega Tentoans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.1%.
The all-consuming Mega Tentoan economy, worth 557 trillion Bolts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,796 Bolts, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.
Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, the explosive fireball of the disintegrating space shuttle has devastated Cape Mega Tento, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, and an extra hand on the leg will give a horse-and-a-half of lead in a hundred jiffies on seven furlongs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mega Tento's national animal is the Robot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Mega Tento is ranked 133,634th in the world and 190th in Sunset Shimmer for Most Stationary, with 239.96822836468 days.
