Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Pink is a massive, devout nation, notable for its burgeoning Amazing population. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 1.316 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Social Equality, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 22%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Cheese Exports industries.

Punitive tariffs protect local industry, immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pink's national animal is the Amazing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Electric.

Pink is ranked 1st in Amani Shando and 40,892nd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -11 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
