The Fallen Empire of Otakus and Weebs is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Not John with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.324 billion Johns 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Piled Bodies of the Innocent. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient John economy, worth a remarkable 1,244 trillion Copper Pieces 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. 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 an amazing 287,918 Copper Pieces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Jumping in puddles after rainstorms has become an indoor activity, family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off, the nation's government buildings are remarkable for being ugly concrete boxes, and breaking rocks in the hot sun now involves using your head. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Otakus and Weebs's national animal is the John, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is John.
