Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Arab Socialist Republic of Saddam Hussein of Iraq is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 9.048 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as the Environment and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28%. A robust private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saddam Hussein of Iraq's national animal is the desert scorpion, and its currency is the scud missile.

Saddam Hussein of Iraq is ranked 14th in Iraq and 52,070th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -12 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
