Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Blissfulness is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning Butterfly population. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.13 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government appears to have no policy direction whatsoever. The average income tax rate is 19%. A substantial private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Uranium Mining.

Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Blissfulness's national animal is the Butterfly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Joy.

Blissfulness is ranked 2nd in Utopia and 24,438th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
