The United Federal States of Agustus and Mezodania is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Karl Hoffmann the 3rd with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 971 million Agustunese and Mezodanians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Agustus and Mezodania. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Agustus and Mezodanian economy, worth 144 trillion Gustuvanias 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, 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 impressive 149,313 Gustuvanias, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 499,452 per year while the poor average 33,180, a ratio of 15.1 to 1.
Karl Hoffmann the 3rd can often be found attempting to coax random citizens' cats down from trees, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems, and children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Agustus and Mezodania's national animal is the Agustunese Mezodanian Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Agustus and Mezodania is ranked 188,197th in the world and 154th in Dystopian Utopia for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 26.67 Effective Tax Rate.
