The Republic of Rocketfuel20 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.768 billion Rocketfuel20ians 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Rocketfuel20ian economy, worth 311 trillion rocketfuels 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. 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 65,389 rocketfuels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", all industry is owned and run by the government, the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough', and the housing market has collapsed like an overbaked Brancalandian souffle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rocketfuel20's national animal is the rocketfuel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Rocketfuel20 is ranked 115,434th in the world and 1st in The Land of the Free for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 10,361.89 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
