The Dictatorship of The-hobo-lord is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 165 million The-hobo-lordians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The The-hobo-lordian economy, worth 11.0 trillion bitcoins 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. 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 66,490 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Anti-tourism militias patrol the borders, to 'cut off family ties' is no longer just a phrase, state officials tend to disappear after they forget to salute Leader's portrait, and workers' complaints never reach central planning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The-hobo-lord's national animal is the manticore, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
The-hobo-lord is ranked 176,684th in the world and 131st in Ninjar Tyla Blevins Cancer Syndrome for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 105.82 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
