Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis
The Most Serene Republic of Giant Bears is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 750 million 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 is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Social Equality and Education are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Great Subterranean Beartopia. The average income tax rate is 73%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.
The nation is currently revamping its entire education system, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, the Giant Bears Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem. Giant Bears's national animal is the Human, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Human.
Giant Bears is ranked 11th in The Skaian Initiative and 26,842nd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
