Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Democratic Republic of Spielrich is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-working, cynical population of 743 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 23%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Woodchip Exports.

Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Spielrich's national animal is the Cute and Fuzzy Bunny, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Yoface.

Spielrich is ranked 14th in Weopi and 40,816th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -11 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
