The All Seeing Dictatorship of Answer Simple Questions is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Master with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, public floggings, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.465 billion Masters Servants are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Industry receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sa Sing Be. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The large but stagnant Servant of Master economy, worth 113 trillion Guts a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 10,838 Guts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The treehouse in Lion Park is the tallest building in Answer Simple Questions, genetic screening weeds out citizens whose legs don't bend easily at the knee, Masters Servants incessantly needle their doctors for relief, and East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Answer Simple Questions's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Authoritarianism.

Answer Simple Questions is ranked 346,114th in the world and 95th in Psychotic Dictatorships for Nicest Citizens, with 0.08 average smiles per day.
