The Glorious Republic of Revolutionary Beer Drinkers is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.099 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.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Education, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beer-hall Castle. The average income tax rate is 91%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.
Government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Revolutionary Beer Drinkers's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Bottlecap.
Revolutionary Beer Drinkers is ranked 1st in Dixie and 6,643rd in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 24 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
