Bizarro Jesus

I got the following for my country description the other day:
"The Theocracy of Bizarro Jesus is a large, economically powerful nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 26 million 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining.
The nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, parents are held criminally responsible for their children's crimes, and university graduates and new home-owners toil in labour camps to work off their debts. Crime is a serious problem. Bizarro Jesus's national animal is the burrito, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Disbelief.
Bizarro Jesus is ranked 35th in the region and 39,364th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry."
I know this kind of game is very propense to insane descriptions, like the issue of stampeding burritos I got, but classifying a country as beeing, both, pro-business and renowed for the strong anti-business politics can be called bug. Just pointing it out, I guess people would feel "safer" playing a game without the problem of it contradicting itself; it's not nice to invest time in something and don't get rewarded for it. This is not like never receiving any issues related to political freedoms and sunddenly have your extremely free country become a dictatorship, I get it: everything is "exagerated".
