The Republic of Dragos Bee is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.582 billion Dragos Beeans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Dragos Beean economy, worth a remarkable 1,138 trillion Philippine Pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,623 Philippine Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", pawn shop reality shows dominate basic cable, and there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dragos Bee's national animal is the Philippine Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Dragos Bee is ranked 247,201st in the world and 356th in The Union of Democratic States for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -59.4 on the Hayek Index.
