Bisca Connell

The Fairy Tail Mage of Bisca Connell is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 8.967 billion Bisca Connellians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 46.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Bisca Connellian economy, worth 409 trillion lire 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 black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. 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 45,648 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Bisca Connellian democracy, Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, and even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bisca Connell's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Bisca Connell is ranked 100,178th in the world and 402nd in Remembrance for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 923.46 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
