Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Nuts of Nuts is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by nuts with a fair hand, and notable for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 16.741 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Social Welfare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of another nation. The average income tax rate is 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, the tenet of free speech is held dear, leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, and companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nuts's national animal is the nut, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is constantly being changed, and its currency is the nut.

Nuts is ranked 6th in Snopesean Archipelago and 100,816th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -51 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
