Republic of Danzig

Population930 million

The Republic of Republic of Danzig is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, ban on automobiles, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 930 million Republic of Danzigians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Republic of Danzigian economy, worth 87.8 trillion Ducats a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,458 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill, Republic of Danzig City University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, Leader is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, and the government spends millions of Ducats every year prosecuting spammers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Danzig's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Republic of Danzig is ranked 62,100th in the world and 422nd in Novaya Zemlya for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 153.04 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
