Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The WA Puppet of FreeGunsForAll is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Shooter Magee with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.723 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uziton. The average income tax rate is 93%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Gambling.

Divorce lawyers are found begging on the streets, the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in FreeGunsForAll to be bombproof, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FreeGunsForAll's national animal is the bald eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar.

FreeGunsForAll is ranked 1,975th in 10000 Islands and 97,292nd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
