The Wasteland of Sweeties Legion is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Sweetie Belle with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, keen interest in outer space, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 7.166 billion Legionaries enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constantinople. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Consensus economy, worth a remarkable 1,604 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, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 223,941 bits, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.
The "right of sanctuary" stops police pursuit into temples and churches, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and former slave-owners hope there are no hard feelings when they apply for jobs from their erstwhile charges. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sweeties Legion's national animal is the pony, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Sweeties Legion is ranked 166,684th in the world and 88th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,127.89 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
