Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Dominion of Kingdom of Mbuji-Mayi is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate population of 678 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bakwanga. The average income tax rate is 75%, and even higher for the wealthy. 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.

Motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, graffiti graces every city's streets, and all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingdom of Mbuji-Mayi's national animal is the Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Harnish.

Kingdom of Mbuji-Mayi is ranked 5th in Lake ilopango and 96,963rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
