The Kingdom of Bort is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 3.878 billion Bortians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 25.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Bortian economy, worth 119 trillion yen a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,804 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens select which government department gets their income tax yen each year, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, and euthanasia is legal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bort's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Bort is ranked 118,303rd in the world and 2,197th in Ambition for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 129.02 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
