The Inquiring Minds of Questions Always Questions is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Riddler with an iron fist, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.608 billion Questions Always Questionsians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.
The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Why Why Why Why. The average income tax rate is 64.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Questions Always Questionsian economy, worth 42.8 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 16,429 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A policy of plausible deniability helps protect the government from athletic doping scandals, the only women behind bars are barmaids, more money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, and social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Questions Always Questions's national animal is the seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is inquiring.
Questions Always Questions is ranked 139,709th in the world and 5th in Redundant Realm of Redundancy for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,964.88 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
