Kerg But Not Bad

The Democratic Republic of Kerg But Not Bad is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 9.462 billion Kerg But Not Badians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Kerg But Not Badian economy, worth 44.3 trillion shekels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 4,683 shekels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries, cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, and excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kerg But Not Bad's national animal is the flying fox, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kerg But Not Bad is ranked 37,060th in the world and 13th in Renegade Islands Alliance for Most Stationary, with 1,227.2958464746 days.
