The Technological Singularity of 20XX is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Fox McCloud with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.062 billion 20XXians 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 Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Milky Way. The average income tax rate is 67.2%.
The powerhouse 20XXian economy, worth 783 trillion Shinespikes a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 110,999 Shinespikes, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.
It takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 20XX's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
20XX is ranked 265,301st in the world and 135th in Canada for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -7.73 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
