DSAT14

Population1.375 billion

The Republic of DSAT14 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.375 billion DSAT14ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.0%.

The frighteningly efficient DSAT14ian economy, worth 149 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,809 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

The main interest rates change daily based on the latest news story, cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, Leader is worshipped as a god, and fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DSAT14's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

DSAT14 is ranked 300,870th in the world and 109th in DSAT for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 23.18 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
