The Dictatorship of Far Far Away From You is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.752 billion Far Far Away From Youans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Far Far Away From Youan economy, worth a remarkable 2,678 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Retail, Gambling, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 227,931 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
