Overview • Factbook • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Supreme Republic of Bognor Regis is a massive, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.287 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alex likes sucking up. The average income tax rate is 68%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in Bognor Regis's many privately-owned prisons, tourists are kicked out if they express interest in their national sport, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bognor Regis's national animal is the Haggis, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Coin.

Bognor Regis is ranked 3rd in The Empire of B010 and 12,839th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 56 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
