The United Socialist States of Paradoxica is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Mister Mxyzptlk with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, smutty television, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.783 billion Paradoxicans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Enigma. The average income tax rate is 89.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Paradoxican economy, worth 363 trillion Oxymorons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 130,498 Oxymorons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
All judiciary cases are decided in the court of public opinion, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, only fully-fledged members of MENSA are allowed to vote, and Mister Mxyzptlk lives life on the open road - complete with groupies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paradoxica's national animal is the Paradox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Parallaxis.
Paradoxica is ranked 180,334th in the world and 3,928th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 77.07701317068 days.
