Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of South Sudan News is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 1.884 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Cheese Exports, Retail, and Pizza Delivery industries.

Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. South Sudan News's national animal is the zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Punt.

South Sudan News is ranked 5th in South Sudan and 36,184th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -11 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
