Nineteen-Eighty-Four

The Dictatorship of Nineteen-Eighty-Four is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.313 billion Nineteen-Eighty-Fourians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Nineteen-Eighty-Fourian economy, worth a remarkable 1,106 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,365 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 479,922 per year while the poor average 36,398, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

Police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, slow dancing is made trickier when Auntie Edna insists on standing between the couple's arms, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, and children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nineteen-Eighty-Four's national animal is the Watcher, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nineteen-Eighty-Four is ranked 214,279th in the world and 8th in 1984 for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 32,240.91 Standard Monetary Units.
