The Theocracy of Pointymandia is a very large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory vegetarianism. Its compassionate, cynical population of 86 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Education, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 50%, and even higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Soda Sales.
Public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", Pointymandia's educational system is the envy of many and regarded as a pinnacle of educational acheivement, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. Crime is totally unknown. Pointymandia's national animal is the wallaby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the point.
