The 3b of 3b is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.001 billion 3bians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 45.9%.
The frighteningly efficient 3bian economy, worth a remarkable 2,077 trillion golds a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 129,837 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.
Creating dance remixes is the newest form of conspicuous consumption, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 3b's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
3b is ranked 234,826th in the world and 7,259th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 23.13482547148 days.
