The Republic of Bronzepunk is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 1.692 billion Bronzepunkians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.7%.
The powerhouse Bronzepunkian economy, worth 152 trillion NKBS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 90,092 NKBS, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.
Acute politicians deride opposition members for being obtuse, the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, and sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bronzepunk's national animal is the NKB, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Bronzepunk is ranked 183,905th in the world and 7,610th in Balder for Largest Populations, with 1.69 billion capita.
