Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis
The Bold Republic of Bald Codger is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.504 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 35%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales.
Crime is relatively low. Bald Codger's national animal is the Lice, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Hair.
Bald Codger is ranked 1,734th in Balder and 70,209th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 104 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
