“Boyz Will Be Boyz”

The Free Land of Beautiful Boyz is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.003 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Education and Law & Order are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Homogenic. The average income tax rate is 54%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Pepsi and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed, all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and anti-environmentalist protesters are gunned down without mercy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beautiful Boyz's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Bjork.

Beautiful Boyz is ranked 86th in the region and 38,852nd in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
