The United Socialist States of Strawmanistan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Al Gore with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, state-planned economy, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 26.561 billion Strawmanistanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strawmanistan City. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.
The powerhouse Strawmanistanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,743 trillion Internets a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 140,935 Internets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced, an endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc, hardline members of the Red Bloc consider Al Gore a filthy revisionist traitor, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strawmanistan's national animal is the manatee, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Strawmanistan is ranked 3,057th in the world and 2nd in Stanistan for Most Stationary, with 3,774.66425088 days.
