The Mute Icecream Waifu of Neo18 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.099 billion Neo18ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Public Transport and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.5%.
The powerhouse Neo18ian economy, worth 455 trillion rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,744 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 237,736 per year while the poor average 17,890, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.
Political activists are routinely executed, commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, and young adults still believe that panthers deliver newborns to expecting parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo18's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Neo18 is ranked 171,252nd in the world and 1,679th in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
