The Colony of Pisces 026 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its smutty television, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.675 billion Stargazers 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Pisces 026ian economy, worth 271 trillion Alreschas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,075 Alreschas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, the state is footing the bill for billionaires' lawyers, and couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pisces 026's national animal is the Typhon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Pisces 026 is ranked 56,694th in the world and 3,342nd in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 16.66 average smiles per day.
