The Perpetual Chaos of Indecision is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Siri of iPhoney with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 27.009 billion Apple Lovers are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HeySiriPickaNumber City. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Indecisionian economy, worth a remarkable 3,037 trillion gold or silver coins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,473 gold or silver coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

A citizen who thinks a slave is a deadbeat is entitled to make the descriptor literally true, schoolboys trained in chivalry are encouraged to duel other boys for a maiden's hand, people across the world seek to be healthier by eliminating carbs, and Chekhov's guns are killing the entertainment budget. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Indecision's national animal is the pushmi-pullyu or dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Worshippers of the Almighty Apple.

Indecision is ranked 291,245th in the world and 62nd in Nudist Dreamland for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -20.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
