The Republic of 900147

“I love 9003”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of 900147 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, avant-garde cinema, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 3.628 billion 900147ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 55.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming 900147ian economy, worth 295 trillion 9003s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 81,516 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and 900147ians incessantly needle their doctors for relief. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 900147's national animal is the 9003, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

900147 is ranked 228,849^th in the world and 197^th in Big Farma for Least Corrupt Governments, with 90 percentage of bribes refused.
