The Winding Trail of The NationStates Bunny is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 19.529 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government is mainly concerned with Public Transport, although Law & Order and Education are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 23%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining.

Legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. The NationStates Bunny's national animal is the bunny of course, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the easter egg.

The NationStates Bunny is ranked 66th in Texas and 18,754th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -9 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
