The Theocracy of BigRed99 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.86 billion BigRed99ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 43.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The BigRed99ian economy, worth 269 trillion Yen a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,990 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Newly-peaceful nations are forced to use assault rifles as farming tools due to a lack of funds for purchasing anything else, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, and a major religion has been named as BigRed99's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BigRed99's national animal is the Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
BigRed99 is ranked 181,158th in the world and 206th in The Middle Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 13.23 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
