Nemrut Island

The Republic of Nemrut Island is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.032 billion Nemrut Islandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 50.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Nemrut Islandian economy, worth 245 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,841 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, love is a precious butterfly to be crushed under diplomatic protocol, lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, and scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Clam. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nemrut Island's national animal is the Clam, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nemrut Island is ranked 65,563rd in the world and 435th in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 115.69 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
