The Lawless Hell of Cossack General TM is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Cossack General with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.297 billion General's Cossacks are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Industry, although Administration is also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gyiv. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.
The frighteningly efficient General's army economy, worth 161 trillion TM Hryvnias a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 124,873 TM Hryvnias, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 424,061 per year while the poor average 27,128, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.
Groups of three or more trees are cut down in the name of 'child safety', chickens roam the streets freely, nano-General's Steeds are the current fad sweeping the nation, and the word "sexagenarian" has taken on a whole new meaning. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cossack General TM's national animal is the General's Steed, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Cossack General TM is ranked 314,622nd in the world and 82nd in Imperial World Nations for Most Patriotic, with 0.33 flags saluted per person per day.
