The Holy Site of Ponehenge is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Daybreaker with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, disturbing lack of elderly people, and unlimited-speed roads. The cynical, devout population of 6.831 billion Ponehengeans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Long Pillared Rocks. The average income tax rate is 59.1%.
The all-consuming Ponehengean economy, worth 616 trillion Grasses 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. 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 90,251 Grasses, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.
The nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake, counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes, Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds, and Daybreaker's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ponehenge's national animal is the Pony, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church of the Open Door.
Ponehenge is ranked 37,793rd in the world and 640th in Suspicious for Most Corrupt Governments, with 57.4 kickbacks per hour.
