Heavy mental

The Album of Heavy mental is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its daily referendums, ban on automobiles, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.894 billion Heavy mentalians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.1%.

The thriving Heavy mentalian economy, worth 719 trillion golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,430 golds, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, creating dance remixes is the newest form of conspicuous consumption, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heavy mental's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Heavy mental is ranked 69,647th in the world and 27th in Sparkalia for Safest, scoring 96.06 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
