The Dominion of John Steed is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 33.235 billion John Steedians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The minute, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.2%.
The frighteningly efficient John Steedian economy, worth a remarkable 3,333 trillion Pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 100,293 Pounds, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 557,045 per year while the poor average 9,056, a ratio of 61.5 to 1.
Mobile phone masts are being erected all over the country, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffer-driven limousines, the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, and only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. John Steed's national animal is the Tara King, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
John Steed is ranked 1,664th in the world and 7th in The Respected Realms for Most Stationary, with 4,217.705634 days.
