The Beat of Groovistan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mr T with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 13.267 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Healthcare and Public Transport are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Funkytown. The average income tax rate is 41%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.
Organised sports are frowned upon as frivolous, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, hunters have been known to lose limbs while attempting to 'play tag' with their prey, and the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Groovistan's national animal is the Cadbury Bunny, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the High Five.
Groovistan is ranked 81st in the region and 5,239th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
