Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Aegean Okra of Munchlax is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate population of 14.208 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 11%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry.

Prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, the wreckages of bombed planes that litter Munchlax are highly popular tourist destinations, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Munchlax's national animal is the heron, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the rupee.

Munchlax is ranked 1st in Afghanistan and 10,751st in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -6 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
