Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Representative of The_Governor_General is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 11.706 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Social Welfare, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 57%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. The_Governor_General's national animal is the Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Credit.

The_Governor_General is ranked 1st in Eutopia and 21,226th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -9 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
