The Communist Royal Beetledom of Water Dung Beetle is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Thalia-River Scarabya with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.716 billion Dung Beetles are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aquatown. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Waterian economy, worth a remarkable 2,342 trillion Dung Balls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 303,643 Dung Balls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
It turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage, all recreational drugs are legal, parents dread their examinations more than their children, and polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Water Dung Beetle's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Athyism.
Water Dung Beetle is ranked 147,575th in the world and 5th in Lost Planet for Most Stationary, with 172.2435008752 days.
