The Wasteland of Sweeties Legion is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Sweetie Belle with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 5.459 billion legionaries are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constantinople. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Consensus economy, worth a remarkable 1,091 trillion bits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 199,896 bits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 930,842 per year while the poor average 25,746, a ratio of 36.2 to 1.
Getting an infected tattoo is considered a rite of passage in Sweeties Legion, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, and there's no such thing as bad publicity. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Sweeties Legion's national animal is the pony, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Sweeties Legion is ranked 293,603rd in the world and 11,289th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 4.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
