Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of The Kosovo is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 9.829 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Law & Order and Defence are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 72%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The Kosovo is renowned for its lax gun laws, long arduous trials are held for the most trivial of offences, the government is spending billions of taxpayer Euros to support the Information Technology industry, and cheese has become the new icon of political dissent. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Kosovo's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Euro.

The Kosovo is ranked 24th in Funen and 90,446th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -22 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
