The State of Misery is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Tyranny with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical, devout population of 15.264 billion Miserables 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calamity. The average income tax rate is 27.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Miserable economy, worth 573 trillion cruds a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,566 cruds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
All fantasy fiction has officially been deemed non-canon, the government merely sends empty platitudes whenever natural disasters strike foreign nations, political activists are routinely executed, and the local custom of Biking With The Cars sends tourists home bemused or in body-bags. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Misery's national animal is the ebola, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Corruption.
Misery is ranked 153,882nd in the world and 10th in Ouagadougou for Most Stationary, with 148.02961359432 days.
