The Democratic Union of Botswana

The Republic of The Democratic Union of Botswana is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its public floggings, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 164 million Batswana 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 medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 49.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Motswana economy, worth 6.48 trillion Botswana Pulas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,481 Botswana Pulas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are now allowed to discuss whether Leader is the greatest ruler ever or simply the greatest ruler of this generation, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights, and there's no such thing as bad publicity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Democratic Union of Botswana's national animal is the Cave Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Democratic Union of Botswana is ranked 219,238th in the world and 1,187th in Europe for Most Average, scoring 30.9 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
