Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Rogue Nation of Betty White Brigade is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 1.326 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 -- devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 33%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Basket Weaving.

Crime is relatively low. Betty White Brigade's national animal is the man, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.

Betty White Brigade is ranked 5th in Chicago and 55,894th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 0 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
