Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Colony of The Truther Girls is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate population of 1.402 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Defence and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 53%, 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 Uranium Mining.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, military funding has been stripped back, and euthanasia is legal. Crime is totally unknown. The Truther Girls's national animal is the Freebird, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Whole Truth.

The Truther Girls is ranked 2nd in Monte Carlo Beach and 20,120th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -9 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
