I reject your political reality and substitute my own.
The Grand Duchy of Rhysyland II is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 444 million Rhysyland IIians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhysyland II City. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Rhysyland IIian economy, worth 12.3 trillion Bottle Caps a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,800 Bottle Caps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
All new "spies" are fifteen-year-old acne-ridden kids on computers, jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses', citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', and it is a crime to operate a combine harvester while intoxicated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhysyland II's national animal is the Swamp Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
