The Oppressed Peoples of TCAM50 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.196 billion TCAM50ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient TCAM50ian economy, worth 696 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,058 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, autocrats are persona non grata, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, and a National Academy regulates grammar and usage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TCAM50's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
TCAM50 is ranked 199,438th in the world and 5,068th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 47.95814986232 days.
