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

The Republic of Bucolia is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 243 million Bucolians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Bucolian economy, worth 11.2 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 45,912 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Purported secret military bases are dismissed by Leader to be highly-advanced toilet factories, tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs, flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, and modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bucolia's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bucolia is ranked 94,633^rd in the world and 160^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,559.7 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
