Overview • Factbook • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Democratic People's Republic of The Union of Myanmar is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Premier Aung Myin Ko with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed population of 7.89 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, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nay Pyi Taw. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Students cut up leftover Kyats during Arts and Crafts, government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet, nude art is becoming wildly popular, and naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Union of Myanmar's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Buddhism, and its currency is the Kyat.

The Union of Myanmar is ranked 1st in The Silver Isles and 6,662nd in the world for Most Influential, scoring 52 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
