Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The People's Republic of --------------------33 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.47 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The small government is mainly concerned with Education, although Law & Order and Social Welfare are on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17%. A substantial private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

It is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, eight year-olds can be seen lighting up in public areas, main battle tanks stalk the woods of --------------------33 in search of kangaroos, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. Crime is a problem. --------------------33's national animal is the kangaroo, and its currency is the pengo.

--------------------33 is ranked 5th in Soviet Russia and 83,611th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 8 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
