The Hellish Reality of Schlueter is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jason with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 35.81 billion Schleens enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt individuals is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Industry, Public Transport, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tucson. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Schleen economy, worth an astonishing 10,498 trillion buttons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 293,185 buttons, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,665,034 per year while the poor average 25,185, a ratio of 66.1 to 1.
The government is coughing up funds for lung cancer victims, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors, and the monarchy goes down the drain with a royal flush. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Schlueter's national animal is the Gila Monster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Schlueter is ranked 680th in the world and 9th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 5,219.66332608 days.
