The Loving Couple of Too Many Options- is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Tom with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.771 billion Too Many Options-ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Market. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Too Many Options-ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,190 trillion snails 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, 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 impressive 121,872 snails, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation's Medal of Honour can be found as a free toy in breakfast cereal, gift hampers filled with delicious beef jerky are sent to newly communist nations, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and curtailed social programs have left many citizens bereft of any safety net. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Too Many Options-'s national animal is the owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.
Too Many Options- is ranked 20,314th in the world and 3rd in The Frontier for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,314.5 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
