The 2nd Iron Republic of Ballistikov is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Gunther Reinart with an iron fist, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.071 billion Ballistikovians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Blitzkov. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Ballistikovian economy, worth a remarkable 6,488 trillion Iron Marks 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, 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 a breathtaking 537,515 Iron Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Vaccinations are mandatory, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, and unemployed mercenaries drift the country looking for new careers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ballistikov's national animal is the Ballistikovian Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.
Ballistikov is ranked 605th in the world and 24th in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 187.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
