The Kingdom of Rulapanga is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 9.042 billion Rulapangans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 54.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Rulapangan economy, worth 249 trillion Betus a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,560 Betus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rulapanga's national animal is the Thylacine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Rulapanga is ranked 207,545th in the world and 8th in Wishtonia for Smartest Citizens, with 24.93 quips per hour.
