The Armed Republic of Best Swashbuckler is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.512 billion Best Swashbucklerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 17.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Best Swashbucklerian economy, worth 146 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,581 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Best Swashbuckler's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Best Swashbuckler is ranked 188,506th in the world and 2,275th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
