The Republic of Megumi Tadokoro is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, anti-smoking policies, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 5.365 billion Megumi Tadokoroans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Environment and Public Transport are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.
The all-consuming Megumi Tadokoroan economy, worth 347 trillion Cauliflowers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Gambling and Basket Weaving. Average income is 64,724 Cauliflowers, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 365,717 per year while the poor average 5,624, a ratio of 65.0 to 1.
The government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, and incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables. Crime is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Megumi Tadokoro's national animal is the Iberian Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Megumi Tadokoro is ranked 291,776th in the world and 1,893rd in Herta Space Station for Lowest Crime Rates, with 14.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
