Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Revolutionary Republic of Bulgislavia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 9.41 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 65%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.

Computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, and all citizens must pass a 'multicultural sensitivity test' to be deemed fit for society. Crime is relatively low. Bulgislavia's national animal is the Bulgislavian Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the urmi.

Bulgislavia is ranked 15th in Tyrrhenia and 68,127th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
