Haha, this is just way too funny.
...from one of the games -
The Armed Republic of Charismastan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Widow the Wise with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.703 billion Charismastanians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Clitoria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Charismastanian economy, worth 490 trillion Gypsy Testicles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 181,618 Gypsy Testicles, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,350,029 per year while the poor average 7,228, a ratio of 186 to 1.
Military spending recently hit a new high, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, citizens who become homeless are immediately executed, and the government seizes all major gold finds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Charismastan's national animal is the Genital Crab, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is First Church of Widow the Wise.
