The PS2 Puppet of Askatopia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Executioner with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.226 billion Disposables are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Education and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Unyielding Cesspit Of Filth. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Disposable economy, worth a remarkable 9,265 trillion Nuclear Bombs 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. 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 a breathtaking 537,885 Nuclear Bombs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The phrase "you might think that but I couldn't possibly comment" is the closest you'll get to a straight answer from Disposable politicians, the nation refuses to discard its increasingly useless penny, millions of simultaneously backfiring toilets have flooded The Unyielding Cesspit Of Filth with effluent, and police officers have nearly cracked a major underage astronomy syndicate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Askatopia's national animal is the Slug, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.
Askatopia is ranked 273,799th in the world and 12,647th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring -73.28 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
