Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Armed Republic of GreenJackets is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by the Flying Spaghetti Monster with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 16.024 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.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Healthcare are secondary priorities. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Information Technology industries.

Voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, the nation's WA representatives have received a very public sacking after GreenJackets allowed its WA membership to lapse, and corporations are either above the law or corrupting it. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GreenJackets's national animal is the pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Shag.

GreenJackets is ranked 4th in World Pirates Alliance and 131,666th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with -25 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
