Warm Island

Population8.716 billion

The Republic of Warm Island is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 8.716 billion Warm Islandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 52.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Warm Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,259 trillion Dollars 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 144,478 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Among slaves 'bastard' is an honorific rather than an insult, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, and the government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Warm Island's national animal is the Sand Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Warm Island is ranked 38,522nd in the world and 128th in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Smartest Citizens, with 47.16 quips per hour.
