Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Most Feared Military of TBH Commander is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by commander red back with an iron fist, and notable for its enforced nudity. Its cynical population of 10.921 billion are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 24%, but much higher for the wealthy. An almost nonexistent private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, government-run brothels can be found on every street corner, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, and gambling is outlawed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. TBH Commander's national animal is the hawk, and its currency is the noddle.

TBH Commander is ranked 28th in The Black Hawks and 12,438th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -7 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
