Location: Democratic Communist States

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The United Socialist States of Kilobugya is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Comrade with a fair hand, and remarkable for its restrictive gun laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 15.575 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Social Equality are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fraternia. The average income tax rate is 100%. 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.

Extreme political groups are outlawed, anti-government web sites are springing up, the arms industry has been shut down in a surge of pacifism, and euthanasia is legal. Crime is totally unknown. Kilobugya's national animal is the Bunny, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Columbus.

Kilobugya is ranked 6th in Democratic Communist States and 101,479th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
