The Rogue Nation of A Bigger Boat is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.777 billion Bigger Boatians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.
The very strong Bigger Boatian economy, worth 250 trillion doubloons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 66,323 doubloons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 227,541 per year while the poor average 14,188, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.
It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. A Bigger Boat's national animal is the Great White Shark, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.
A Bigger Boat is ranked 183,191st in the world and 27th in Atlantis for Most Corrupt Governments, with 2.55 kickbacks per hour.
