Bringing It Back

The Dictatorship of Bringing It Back is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.653 billion Bringing It Backians 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 62.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Bringing It Backian economy, worth 63.5 trillion Seeds 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, 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 23,924 Seeds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bringing It Back's national animal is the Birds, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bringing It Back is ranked 177,504th in the world and 1st in Toxicity for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 121.56 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
