Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of The Point Man is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.971 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Religion & Spirituality, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24%. A large private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving industries.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. The Point Man's national animal is the eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.

The Point Man is ranked 2nd in Guyana and 47,007th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 13 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
