The Monty Python Classic of An Argument Clinic is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, anti-smoking policies, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.266 billion Argument Clinicians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 80.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Argument Clinician economy, worth a remarkable 1,887 trillion Object Permanences 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. 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 203,667 Object Permanences, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
All the playground's a stage for Argument Clinician schoolchildren, the nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles, perverts across the land rejoice after 'sexual harassment' was recently renamed 'persuasive courting', and government officials are held to the highest standard of morality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. An Argument Clinic's national animal is the Question Mark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
An Argument Clinic is ranked 40,568th in the world and 460th in Eye for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 5,989.94 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
