The Republic of Baarle Hertog is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, remarkable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 16.869 billion Baarle Hertogians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.
The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.
The strong Baarle Hertogian economy, worth 814 trillion franks a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is 48,304 franks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 281,987 per year while the poor average 3,893, a ratio of 72.4 to 1.
Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Baarle Hertog's national animal is the Koko Flanel.
Baarle Hertog is ranked 22,367th in the world and 103rd in Nederland for Largest Populations, with 16.9 billion capita.
