The Republic of Better Than Revenge is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.167 billion Better Than Revengeans 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Better Than Revengean economy, worth 651 trillion stories of us 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 large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an impressive 105,676 stories of us, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
People who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, and every week is blindness awareness week. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Better Than Revenge's national animal is the white horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
