The Autonomy of Autonomousness is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 39.544 billion Autonomousnessians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serendipity. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.
The enormous but underdeveloped Autonomousnessian economy, worth a remarkable 3,116 trillion shells a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is 78,808 shells, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Autonomousness's national animal is the pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Autonomousness is ranked 2,930th in the world and 118th in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 165.35 quips per hour.
