The Theocracy of Smallistan is a small, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 36 million Smallistanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Smallistanian economy, worth 451 billion dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 12,529 dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales', military spending is on the increase, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and gambling is outlawed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Smallistan's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Smallistan is ranked 326,907^th in the world and 986^th in Carcassonne for Highest Average Incomes, with 12,529.53 Standard Monetary Units.
