The Socialist People's Republic of Grbustan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Marshal Mustafa Massoud with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 14.904 billion Grbustanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 45.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Grbustanian economy, worth 432 trillion Pounds 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, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. 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 28,985 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, organisations with 800 in their phone number are often raided by special forces, Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Grbustan's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Grbustan is ranked 211,463rd in the world and 9th in Island Of Union for Most Secular, with 15.48 Atheism Rate.
