The Rick of So do i is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Rick Astley with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and national health service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.913 billion So do ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rick. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient So do ian economy, worth 642 trillion Ricks 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. 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 impressive 130,826 Ricks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, every week is blindness awareness week, government spokespeople are working overtime trying to convince concerned citizens that Rick Astley is not a crook, and Moby Dick can only be sold by pornographers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. So do i's national animal is the Rick, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
So do i is ranked 26,473rd in the world and 253rd in The Funian Puppet Region for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 19,617.19 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
