Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Disloved Rock Bands is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Mr Mohawk with an even hand, and notable for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 7.483 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crazy Town. The average income tax rate is 83%, 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.

Children are raised bilingual from an early age, the arms industry is strictly regulated, the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, and students cut up leftover circle things during Arts and Crafts. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Disloved Rock Bands's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the circle thing.

Disloved Rock Bands is ranked 4,694th in the South Pacific and 101,003rd in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -11 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
