The Republic of Fat retired people is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 36.506 billion Fat retired peopleans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Fat retired peoplean economy, worth 973 trillion dollars 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, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining. 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 26,661 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have been outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fat retired people's national animal is the lobster, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Fat retired people is ranked 117,878th in the world and 22nd in Florida for Most Primitive, scoring -33.17 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
