Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Mohamed Bouazizi is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mohamed Bouazizi with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.874 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The small government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tunis. The average income tax rate is 16%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Information Technology industries.

The nation has become a pariah for giving pirates letters of marque, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and jerboas with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped. Crime is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mohamed Bouazizi's national animal is the jerboa, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the dinar.

Mohamed Bouazizi is ranked 1st in Springfield and 38,511th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -11 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
