The Command Cyborg of Paradroid is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by MrDroid with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 32.265 billion Paradroidians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ParadroidCity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Paradroidian economy, worth a remarkable 5,699 trillion chips 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, quite specialized black market in Retail, Book Publishing, 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 impressive 176,633 chips, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 524,412 per year while the poor average 46,672, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.
Citizens who refuse to vote are guillotined, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with MrDroid, sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour', and actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paradroid's national animal is the mouse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.
Paradroid is ranked 243,036th in the world and 24th in Testregionia for Most Primitive, scoring -132.43 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
