The Republic of Giga-Brilliant is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ritual sacrifices, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.74 billion Giga-Brilliantians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Giga-Brilliantian economy, worth 833 trillion Cards a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,153 Cards, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 595,753 per year while the poor average 23,349, a ratio of 25.5 to 1.
Agricultural employees work for peanuts, overly distant dads are conscripted into national nappy service, foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Giga-Brilliant's national animal is the Kuriboh, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Giga-Brilliant is ranked 27,217th in the world and 158th in Suspicious for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 75.52 Effective Tax Rate.
