The Republic of Supportive Parents is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its aversion to nipples, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.147 billion Supportive Parentsians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Supportive Parentsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,491 trillion currencies 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Gambling, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an amazing 305,787 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
