The Oppressed Peoples of Fomenting Discontent is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory vegetarianism, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 169 million Fomenters of Discontent 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 82.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Discontented economy, worth 4.60 trillion sad faces 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, Soda 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 27,208 sad faces, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jackboots have given the boot to the nobility, vacationing Fomenters of Discontent expect to be treated as royalty, weapons are only sold to foreign governments that are legitimate enough to not bounce the cheque, and raindances intended to summon storms instead attract tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fomenting Discontent's national animal is the vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fomenting Discontent is ranked 319,461^st in the world and 4^th in Bureaucracy for Most Developed, scoring 45.91 on the Human Development Index.
