Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The The Enlightened Republic of Reallyhungry is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Carl Sagan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.528 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Center001. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, children are raised bilingual from an early age, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime is totally unknown. Reallyhungry's national animal is the snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the act of volunteering.

Reallyhungry is ranked 2,037th in 10000 Islands and 99,428th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -37 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
