Nation/Eastern States of Antarctica

The People's Republic of Eastern States of Antarctica

Eastern States of Antarctica is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Donald Trump with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.58 billion Antarcticans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Area 51. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Antarctican economy, worth 730 trillion Bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 203,980 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, and the Grinder at Fat Sal's Deli and Recycling Center is a national institution. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern States of Antarctica's national animal is the Guinea Pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Communism.

The People's Republic of Eastern States of Antarctica is a member of the Self Proclaimed Communist Party
