The Republic of Bezuidenhout is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.002 billion Bezuidenhoutians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The tiny, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.
The very strong Bezuidenhoutian economy, worth 181 trillion guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 60,470 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 175,129 per year while the poor average 16,546, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.
Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Bezuidenhout's national animal is the cow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Bezuidenhout is ranked 246,290th in the world and 10,092nd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
