The Last 40 cent martini of Little Orphan Annie is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Briar Rose with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.451 billion Little Orphan Annieans 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, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bedlam. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.
The thriving Little Orphan Anniean economy, worth a remarkable 2,275 trillion warbucks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 77,263 warbucks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 285,052 per year while the poor average 14,777, a ratio of 19.3 to 1.
Fast-food chefs regularly win Health Innovation Awards for spitting on burgers, burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", and foreign leaders who don't applaud Briar Rose's speeches are regarded as enemies of Little Orphan Annie. Crime is a problem. Little Orphan Annie's national animal is the cockroach, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Little Orphan Annie is ranked 145,350th in the world and 2nd in Atlantic Avenue for Most Stationary, with 179.2180797448 days.
