Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Predator 15 is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its burgeoning Eagle population. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 1.252 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Education and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Predator 15 City. The average income tax rate is 28%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

Wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, the government spends millions of Dollars every year prosecuting spammers, and a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem. Predator 15's national animal is the Eagle, and its currency is the Dollar.

Predator 15 is ranked 2nd in Concordant Dystopia and 19,340th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -9 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
